This is what we started with in the Tea Garden…lots of sand. We planted a few flowering bushes, ornamental banana, iris, etc. and built a firepit area with an ornamental wood grill. The house faces east so the are gets morning sun all year round. In the summer the afternoon sun is quite strong, tracking a bit lower in the winter. There are those days in between (Spring and Fall) that the weather is perfect for using this pleasant little outdoor space for tea sipping.

Happy Homesteading,
