Beautiful garden.
You are very clever at artwork and pottery.
You deserve to get lots of visitors for your open day. :o)

It's amazing how you manage to put your artistic talents into your garden - it surely must be a unique place. How big is the actual garden?

well your all welcome and proceeds all go to a good cause.the back garden is 40` x 20` aprox and the front os about 20` x 12`.i had to concider the dogs and pond etc and try and make them all gel and look nice every wear hence the planters in the dog run.you dont live far terra your welcome.dont you have the same things in your area for charity ? surly you must.my house is an ex council house so its limmited .i feal very close to nature.i was lucky enough to grow up near some commen land that joins onto what i think is the biggest man made forest in the uk.i forget how lucky i am sometimes.my garden was done on a very tight budget.story of my life lol.glad you like it see you in june lol

Wish I could come - but Norfolk a long way away - there's several GoY gardens I'd like to visit - might have to hire a camper van and tour around them all one summer! Ha - I wish! :-D

Well, I was thinking about just the ones in the Uk - but now you've suggested it, that's a brilliant idea! Even better - could get a big double decker (preferably red) and pick of GoYers en route and tour the world! Would be just like Summer Holiday...but with gardens and nice people and trans-continental. Now there's an idea.......... :-D

Lovely garden NP. I wish I could come and see it. But....a little too far to walk!! Lets see, that would be about 6,000 miles. LOL.
I like your idea Sid. Count me in.
I don't have tatoos but my ears are pierced (twice). LOL. I think I'm getting a bit saggy to tatoo now. If I got a flower tatoo it would just look wilted in a couple of years. :o)
