The idea of dividing the garden up into different ‘rooms’ is nothing new. My house was built in 1902 and the garden completed around the same time. We have various areas, but first the overview:
The side garden – which is where you enter the garden from the driveway to access the front door:
Side garden, looking towards the driveway
The main front garden, which speaks for itself really:
The sunken garden is to the left of the trees; the crazy paving to the right
The ‘square garden’, which gets its name from the fact the lawn is just about square; it is off the front garden to the left and outside the kitchen window; the greenhouse and sheds are along one side of this garden:

The ‘long garden’, because it’s well, long! It was the old lane that surrounded the house, but was long ago incorporated into the garden, as no-one used the lane any more:
It's a little overgrown, so it doesn't look very long, but believe me, it is; I have big plans for this area
The vegetable garden and mini orchard:
The nettles are determined to make a comeback; the vegetable beds are to the right of the picture
There is also an area behind the garage, which has no formal designation yet and I have no idea what to do with it – any suggestions welcome and gratefully received J
