"The one thing we always say about childhood is that we seemed to have more time back then". So said the best selling Dangerous Book For Boys.

"Not only were the summers longer, but the days were warmer. The sand or grass or twigs beneath our feet defined the seasons and filled the gaps between the changing terms before the accelerating speed of the life lead us away and smothered our senses.

The Dome Garden is a chance to go back and slow down. To recreate the wonder of youth and recapture "those Sunday afternoons and endless summers." Why? because...

So, this is where it all starts - a gang of friends, some makeshift sledges, a little snow and an open mind.

Its how we keep in touch with our youth, how we find our way back to where we came from. It’s also how we help our children learn where they are going and how to get there.

If we lose the ability to take advantage of stuff like this then we risk growing old too young.

That’s what The Dome Garden is all about. Bring a gang of friends or family, go canoeing or cycling or llama trekking. Make camps, take it easy and enjoy the passing of a little time with no phones or tvs or emails to distract you. And then you might remember why the summers were so long when we were young
