Gravetye’s patios

Now, here’s what I call a patio. It plays second fiddle to the plants, which are spilling all over it. They soften the edges and surround the seating with colour and scent. Who wouldn’t want to linger here?

I also love the naturalistic planting in the pots, and the fact that paving slabs have been lifted to make way for more plants. All patios should be like this.
