The new addition to [Ds] Secret Garden series of furniture is out, my dear readers, new [Ds] Secret Garden - Bower AV!

This is the second "love child" in-between two brands that know what they do with plants and with adult menus. I just can say nothing else except I love it! It's detailed, it's original, it's different, it's easy to use! And if you ask me, I'm looking forward to more items like this in the future!

So let's start with the review and go into more details!

Technical details and description from creator, Dictatorshop Resident:

"The Secret Garden Bower comes in 2 versions:

Adult Vanilla with 452 animations 

Couples PG with 198 animations 

The Secret Garden Bower is designed to give you a romantic hideaway for your garden. Snuggle in the lush boho-styled pillows surrounded by beautiful living foliage forming an intimate dome around you. This piece is a collaboration with Hayabusa who provided the lovely planting. Just what you need to while away the warm summer evenings!

Every good garden should hold a few secrets, don't you think? We certainly do, and that's precisely what the Secret Garden range is about. Adding some fun and play into garden time. Solid build quality, of course, and enough texture options to fit in with even the fussiest of colour schemes, these pieces are all about relaxing and enhancing your outdoor Second Life.

** The Normal 16 Li LOD version are going to fit most people, the Ultra 32 Li LOD version is included in case you have a huge vista and are not happy with the normal LODs.  For most applications the 16 Li Normal is going to work.

Be sure to check out all the Secret Garden pieces!

We've gone gently boho with the fabrics for this piece, including mandalas and batik with some quieter patterns. A high degree of mix and match is possible depending on your tastes.

How many color options? Well. Really a whole lot, but don't panic, we have included a mess of presets to get you seated comfortably in no time at all. To be precise about it:

1 Factory Reset - A simple black faux fur blanket with mixed pillows in greys

7 Presets - Quick solutions for getting stylish - a tonal mix of fabrics in one of: Blue, Green, Grey, Purple, Rainbow, Red, and Sepia

If you delight in detail and want to get picky, you can go bananas as follows:

Blanket: 17 options - 7 mandalas, 7 chevrons, and 3 fuzzies

Pillows: 7 options - a tonal mix of fabrics in one of: Blue, Green, Grey, Purple, Rainbow, Red, and Sepia

In addition, you can choose from 5 ground textures (we've kept the ground nice and simple so you can simply apply your land texture to the prim for perfect blending) and 6 foliage textures. 

★ ☆ ✮ 

These Animations are included in both versions - PG and AV:

The PG version contains 198 PG animations for MF, FF, FMM, and MFF.  Includes the individual sits so that all three sitters have choices for either gender, this allows everyone to hang out how they like without affecting the other one or two sitters.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WHO SITS WHERE  FOR DICTATORSHOP TRIO ITEMS

The bed is avatar gender-aware and will attempt to put your avatar in the correct sit for the activities on offer.  Because these beds contain both threesome and lesbian menus, this can be a bit confusing at first use.  Once you have used it a couple times it becomes clearer.

First female sitter on the bed gets "Female1" position

First male sitter gets the "Male1" position

Second female or male sitter gets the "Third" position

So a M/F couple will be automatically on Female1 and Male1

A F/F couple will be sat on Female1 and Third

Threesomes will have the second person of the same gender in the Third position

If you need to swap, the help menu gives you quick swapping between the various possible combos.  These are more effective than the default Swap button in the menus and you have more control over who is going where.

These beds are set up to allow you to have a third person on the bed, even when the couple's menus are in use.  The third person can use the individual menus to control his/her sit position."
