Inspiring family yards The family yard is the place where you and your family can play and relax together. It may well be a refuge from the outside world, but most importantly, it is a place where the whole family feels at home. Some family yards are straightforward play areas, for allowing little ones to let off steam during the day, while others come alive at night, when children are sleeping and friends come to visit. Perhaps you want to produce fresh fruit and vegetables for family meals, or make it a place to learn about wildlife. Find the features that most appeal to you.

Getting started A family yard is not just for children. The yard can be designed so that every member of the family—young or old, and even the family pet—is drawn to spend time there. Think about what each member of your family needs from a yard before you start laying it out. Then, once you have made these decisions, there are a number of practical choices to be made. Will you go for hard or soft surfaces? Which plants will be most appropriate? How can the space accommodate animals? This section guides you through the options for your family’s needs.
