Not so much a "garden room"...but we built a pergola down in our back field in our new food forest that we are building. (If you are not familiar with the term "food forest" or "forest garden" and are interested, you can see more in the Permaculture Forum at The thread "My PA Food Forest" in Permaculture forum

I don't know that this is a "room", but this is the space in my garden where I go to just chill Smiling

Jim - Very nice area to sit and ponder.

I would consider it a "room" if it is different than the other space around it. It looks to be with the cleared area and bench.

Is that metal structure behind the bench a metal bed headboard? Very pretty whatever it is! Lovey dubby

Indeed the metal frame is a headboard I found at a local thrift store. I spray painted it gold so it would show up. Thanks for the kind words.

For those who love "garden rooms", I highly recommend watching "The Gardener "- A documentary about Frank Cabot. What he created is AMAZING! (NOTE: This documentary movie is NOT to be confused with "The Gardener" - a 2021 action movie.)
https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3... (This preview of the documentary doesn't even come close to giving you a preview of what you are about to see in the movie! It leaves out all the best parts!)

The entire movie is currently offered for free viewing on Peacock, but can also be rented on:
Amazon: DVD, Digital and Blu-ray https://bit.ly/2D64thC
Amazon Prime Video: https://amzn.to/2pi8q8Y

If I was ever able to get up to Canada during the 4 days they open the gardens up to visitors, I'd definitely go! I thoroughly enjoyed the film! So beautiful! Lovey dubby Lovey dubby Lovey dubby

Jim - You will really appreciate the genius and whimsy of Frank Cabot! He created some of the most beautiful and diverse garden rooms in the world. I watched it twice on Peacock. BTW - My husband watched it too and he is NOT a gardener, but he was totally impressed with what Cabot had created. We would love to visit in person!!!
