We enlisted our niece’s husband to build the garden shed I’ve always wanted. The window boxes are planted with wax beans, leaf lettuce and cilantro to ensure that our resident bunnies don’t harvest them before we do! Tiger lilies and a red ‘Cuthbert Grant’ rose frame the shed which is fronted by a circular flagstone patio planted with several varieties of thyme. Photo/Illustration: Courtesy of Deborah Rees
