Yea

Yes in deed, especially, after the bamboo has ruined all foundations, gorgeous.

Yes air.raid shelter atmosphere, gorgeous.

How much did this project cost??? 👌🇺🇸

It need 25 square meters in a lawn, otherwise you hurt yourself every time passing by, in particular if you get older.

Direct descendants of Piso have loadsa money through fraud, sure Arrius Piso aka Alpha to Omega aka Flavius Josephus was the ultimate fraudster

Usually more than the rest of us could afford. Custom made sculpture ... at least $2,000 each and the rest of the props another $3,000. The Bamboo is expensive, for the height and species $200 x 8 (I priced them locally where I live). Most of us do not have unlimited funds to play with, so we have to piece-meal it along. The waterfall, if you know any teens still in school who are taking metal shop, might be able to knock n weld something together, with the right incentive.

Tell me about it! As an Aged Pensioner I am starting a garden from scratch on a steep slope in hostile conditons! My 'other' garden are my gardening books. One can dream.

I usually scout n scavenge for odds n ends. I found an old beat up metal headboard (think brass bed), took it home, hosed it down and painted it. It now is a small privacy screen/border to carry sweet peas and morning glory. Out driving around you can usually find wildflowers growing by the roadside or the edge of a parking lot growing up through the cracks (keep a small shovel and a few pots in the back of the car for such opportunities). Also, don't be shy about knocking on someones door to complement their garden and asking for a few cuttings. Most people will oblige with a smile. Returning later with some of your own cuttings is a way of saying thank you.

Like the sound of your old brass bed headboard now covered in sweetpeas and morning glory! I have to say I think the gardens of 'real people' as opposed to landscapers have much more personality.

@Deb photos.app.goo.gl/S78SYhm6Eqdtz62u6 Coincidentally, today someone asked to see some photos of the garden. These are from late December to now. Unfortunately, in real time the garden only happens in seasonal bits and pieces and some of these flowers will never be seen again but others will replace them. A garden is a changing picture. A huge amount of hard work for an 'old girl' :)

Would have been better to allow sight to travel outwards to the neighbours roof. The mesh in itself and the idea of seeing the leaves through it is good but it is dominated by the frame and support for the mesh which form a too solid eye stopping boundary.

Pipsqwak Yes. I thought that was a bad choice of design of conservatory for that space. I guess they didnt want to look at the side walls but they could have grown things up those walls. They could have built in trellis and mirrors so that they gave the impression of windows through the walls, or painted beautiful views on them.

Agreed.

Yes, and in time won't they get dusty and dirty?

I groaned when she said she liked FLW. Soulless, pretentious architecture, and the falling water house in PA is ugly blocks of concrete ruining a beautiful waterfall.

😂😂😂

fascist gardening

And such bad quality and such dangerous edges.

The Instant Gardener?

@@moniquemannaert3468 No. Googled that. Not it. But thank you.

@lorna let me know when you find it, please! 👍😊👒

😂😂😂

You are spot on. What an awful man. I expect his parents had a celebration when he left home. If he has moved out yet of course!

True! I could not stand his pompous ways either!!!!

Absolute agree. The presenter is a huge pain in the backside.

Same here

@@Noactualdirection 😂😂😂

when bamboo is surrounded by lots of other strong rooted plants, it has no room to spread and if harvested/thinned out regularly, not a problem if a smaller types are chosen.

It really depends on the variety of bamboo. Some varieties are not aggressive spreaders.

@@ekatlaterrible And what do you think about this monsters?

These monsters

This poor woman. She got framed.

Should they not have called Haddonstone?

lol

Hello Margit I will see if I can find who made the Allium sculpture

The website for the person who designed the Allium sculpture is as follow: www.ruthmoilliet.com

@@martinhogg4940 Hello Martin, thank you very much for your effort to get the address out. 🌺👍🏻🌼

It's a matter of taste. Roses can also look quite tacky

@Molly McCullagh The term first appears in 1681[1] in reports of a London murder. The term came into wider circulation in 1695 after its mention by a character in William Congreve's play Love for Love, although the design is much older. It was probably so called in reference to its "claws", which inflict parallel wounds

@@pussinboots1145 I thought it was from Hepcat's dancing

The fountain is ugly too.(bad quality) and you are absolutely right. Delicious.

@cahenglsh - Don’t be so nasty. We Americans love Matt James. You should’ve seen his series The City Gardener many years back. He’s a genius.

I would only pay for the limestone terrace, but cut the invoice for missing edges.
