The other thing that's cool that I saw years ago and want to incorporate into a future garden somewhere is using jungle-style plants as water substitutes.
Basically imagine Mikenetic's garden with ferns and hardy banana plants in place of the water.
If you got really creative you could make a bridge and then have an under section.
EDIT: I think the garden I saw used steel cages as walkways and tunnels. Pretty sure it was a Home Front w/t Diarmuid Gavin where it was a couple with a little boy.
Would love to see this. I was looking at a load of gardeners world gardens of the year last night (all on YT playlists on their channel if you're interested) and they're SO densely planted. this one by a colombian living in London was cool, although it's probably not and ideal concept for my own garden

I tried hard while procrastinating yesterday to find it. But couldn't. TBH any of the old Home Front with Diarmuid Gavin are worth watching on YT if you want ideas for nuts structures.
I like that dudes garden. What's that floaty almost moss-like stuff around the banana plat at 1:13?
It's funny, I'd always assumed I'd live in London with a tiny garden so had tonnes of cool ideas about what I'd do. Now we're in the 'burbs with a decent sized established garden and lawn it's pretty uncreative.
That said our front garden is a shit show and I have zero energy to come up with a concept.

If the lawn is a decent size then with kids it's a no brainer imo. That said our lawn was tiny growing up so I mainly played in a simple den structure covered in Ivy with a Mulberry tree in it to climb. So I'd go for dens and climbing structures.
