 Come to the Los Angeles Baby Celebration Show on April 12th & 13th to see Barbara's Garden Playhouse/Shed featured in the fabulous "Grow with Me Garden" designed by Cindy Benoit of Benoit Exterior Design, Inc.

This extraordinary multi-tree, multi-level treehouse with swinging & straight bridges, rope railings, and a rustic clubhouse perched high on the upper deck incorporates 3 separate trees into its complex design. Built for adults as well as children, the Tree Top Inn is every kid-at-heart's dream come true.

 Escalade Tree Fort is a custom 4-level treehouse with multiple decks. Barbara used a variety of fortress, slated and hand-woven rope net railings to give each level a unique lookand feel. Designed to blend in with the tree, it is difficult to see the Clubhouse on the top level. Up and down access is via multiple rung ladders and the quick escape Firepole.

 Rosefield Cottage is hand-carved & stained on the outside with a fully finished, painted interior. This charming playhouse (with real glass windows, oak Dutch door, electricity and built-in furniture) sits under the deck of the main house looking out over the San Francisco Bay.  

  The Pirate's Ship was designed and built for the Ritz Carlton Hotel in West Palm Beach, FL and sits on ocean side to complement the view.  This elegant ship meets ASTM Standards for Playground Equipment for Public Use for the 2 to 5 year old age range.

  Kitty Kat Cottage is a 1-story Playhouse with interior loft and front deck, up on stilts so that the kids can play amongst the tree branches. Access is via a rung ladder. There is a hand-carved kitty on the side wall.

The Summerhouse is a 1-story playhouse made from natural redwood lumber and finished in pure, non-toxic, tung-oil stains with high quality artist pigment.  A totally green playhouse for The Turtle Bay Exploration Park, designed to meet ASTM F 1487-05 Standard for Playground Equipment for Public Use, for the 2 to 12 age range.

Wizard's Hideout, displayed at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, CA, was auctioned June 2, 2007 as part of "Dreams Happen" Playhouse Gala Event. Wizard's Hideout sold for $51,000 with all proceeds donated to Rebuilding Together Peninsula.
