The first stage of the Bolt-on Garden is complete - a low maintenance design to suit a young married couple.
Now, however, we can see the Bolt-on Garden in its true light. Keeping the basic design intact, 'units' can be changed, thereby adapting to the different requirements of the growing family, where children need to play safely.
