my garden - update

palminnie1 · **Posted: 28-05-2010 , 08:30 PM** #1

some images of the garden. this patch was bare concrete a year ago, with bear cans, glass and rubbish all over. i was rehoused due to disability and legs going!
i am proud.
small buddha - cracked so half price.
contemplative one - half price!
succulants from side of road.
grass reused from the front-people said it would never grow on concrete, it has.
sunflowers grown from seed as too the sweet pea
ceramic shoes from a JTer
tree trunk behind brown buddha is a bird table perch, from a wood turner in wicklow
oyster shells found in the rubbish of glass and soil in raised bed.
marbles from charity shop as well as the purple thingy, which i think i shall remove.
backdrop to white buddha was leftover of screen used out the front.

Absolutely fantastic work. I am green with envy. Would you ever do my patch for me when, if ever, you get a spare minute. Thanks for sharing.
