Over time, my 'duck-billed dinosaurs' have evolved into creatures strange, quirky and varied. So to has my garden, although over a very much shorter span of time. It just doesn't feel like it...
It is, however, strange, quirky and varied.
Each part of the garden has waited for one of those 'ah-ha' moments, when parts previously purely functional could be made into something aesthetically pleasing. In this way the gas reservoir became the swing seat, the rain overspill became the lotus pond, some unused banking became the aviary, the forest became the fantastic place.
Despite this constant reappraisal, there have been a couple of underlying rules. Everything is designed to draw you further into the garden. You can only see a small part from each area, each 'room'. Each 'room' should have some quirky nature to it, each 'room' should have its own view.
There may well be many more years of development yet, but we have pretty much achieved what we set out to do.
This video is to give you a taste of those views from each room. I'll do more videos like this to show the changes over the seasons. Hopefully we'll be out of lockdown by then...
Any quirky ideas will be gratefully received. Practical would be good to. Spare cash...
