I'm lucky enough to have a very handy man around the place - Jamie'll build most things I have dreamt about. My chicken coop, various fences and gates, a polytunnel, a firebath , a gazebo - this really has become the garden of my dreams, though there's always work to be done and I don't have a naked maintenance guy to look at. Never mind, I'm counting all my blessings.

It'd be super cool to have a spa sauna and ten years ago we may have had the energy to build one, but I'm not sure we can be bothered now. You can buy ready made saunas for about 5 grand so if we have spare money perhaps that's something we could do, but then, we'd have to build the infrastructure around it like a plunge pool.

I'd also love a natural swimming pool. I'm a water baby and this really appeals to me. However, it's a lot of work and money so again this is just a pipe dream.

So, I'm going to keep it simple and do-able for this week's #hivegardenqotw - I want to pave the remaining concrete slab next to our back deck. The slab is there from a patio the last owners built which we removed because it was ugly. Jamie finally built a back deck over it last year which is awesome but there's still some ugly, cracked slab left which I've softened with planters and table and chairs but it still BUGS me.

I was recently in Bali, and their gardens are sublime. I love how they do all their paths in small stones like pictured below.

The yin and yang is a bit much maybe but some kind of design would be really cute. I think in the end I'll just get some crazy paving off Facebook marketplace for free or cheap and do it that way. We've done that kind of thing before, after all.

It'll be cheaper than a swimming pool anyway.

What do you dream of building in your garden?
