Plants and smallish shrubs for shelter and of course eating:0)
Other half pots so he/she can choose where to be.
A good area of weeds for grazing.
And maybe a few slabs or the like to warm up on first thing in the morning or on warm not hot days. Slabs warm up quite quickly.

Mine like climbing over some log roll - low level of course, so just on it's side.

looks fabulous. Yes slates would be great and then either dig up dandelions from another area or seed and chicory and then plant them along the shaping leaving little gaps - next spring it will be awash with yellow and like a maze !!!! oooh I cant wait !!!1 if you do that !! I planted loads of ones I pick and repotted in a huge pot and them have all come up so now I will harvest the seeds but soldiers around that shape will look terrific I bet. Nasturiums are so easy to grow from seed also so maybe alternate......! CB
