Garden structures often provide key focal points within a garden as well as much needed shelter.
From tree-houses to arbours, garden sheds to boardwalks, Water Gems designs and builds unusual and inspiring structures using locally-sourced, sustainable materials.
Green roofs can be incorporated using either sedum or wildflower matting.
The tree-house featured here includes a balcony, unusual step ladder, chute and climbing frame constructed around an ancient tree in a private garden.
Water Gems' award-winning garden at Inverleith also featured a rebar shelter with grass roof, as did their 2010 Gardening Scotland show garden.
