these are so genius 😩 I'll be following this thread
for the Drax Garden, idea 1 looks very pleasing to the eye, because the cyan/aqua/yellow-toned flower beds compliment the cyan aqua blankets and cyan/aqua/yellow food items, and the bench's yellow flowers. Idea 2 brings a little more life to the scene thanks to the plastic table, chairs and parfait, but it compromises the pleasant look of it ever so slightly. Not too significantly, though! The flowers from the bench become more out of place without the flower beds. The flower beds complimented the bench flowers. On the other hand, the plastic corner fit the picnic blankets a lot. Perhaps it's a question of personal preference. I'd choose the flower bed idea 1 because it looks more balanced.

Your designs are very good!
