Shady Bower..

Very effective, and a lot quicker than waiting for another smoke bush to grow...

Oh yes! I am certainly very interested in this! I think I shall have one of these...it's really lovely!

It's brilliant ! I wish I had room for one :)

Reminds you of a wigwam Forgive my ignorance but have you a link Lin from where you got the canes from. I think I might try a smaller version as limited for space.

this is lovely.

wow, I always liked these how wonderful to see it working, great idea she will be in heaven sat there on her garden seat watching the world go by. :O)

Lovely idea and should be really effective. Great place to hide in with a book.

Its great isn't it, Juliet is thrilled to bits with how well its growing,I love it but haven't anywhere to put one, then again my willow tree provides me with a very shady place to sit on those hot sunny days, anybody remember those, its raining again here, we seem to have gone backwards it thinks its April, lol..
Tommy I'm not sure which company it came from but was off the net, theres lots of places to choose from, just put Living Willow Structures in your searchbar, there are instructions and ideas, you'll be spoilt for choice...

That looks really lovely, I want one too! You've started something here Lincs ;O)

What a great idea,Sue,and how quickly they have grown !
just the place for it too...it's going to look very effective as it grows..:o)

It looks very good, Lincslass! Reminds me very much of the ones they have in two of the schools close to where we live. The first school has had one - only 10 times bigger - for more than 5 or 6 years now. It's cut back at the end of winter every year but the new branches grow more than 6ft every year!

The other school has one but it is only about half as big & has only been there about 5 years. I haven't seen one in a private garden though.

Living sculpture , very artistic, I love it

Wow - first time I've seen one in terms of 'normal' garden, if you know what I mean. It's much easier to see how they would look in our own gardens thanks to you Lincs.
I can see you inspiring a few folks on here :)

I`d swap a smoke bush for one of these any day Lincs, just wish I had the room.

I am hugely impressed. Wish my tiny garden could take such a thing. I would be so thrilled to have something like that.

That is brilliant, and amazing how quickly it has all taken shape. Oh for a bigger garden :)

That looks great, Lincs. When we get round to dismantling our shed, I might consider one of these now rather than what I had in mind. It could be just the thing.

Love this!
