open gardens sunday 14th june

I've been watching out for this blog, Leigh! I'm so glad the Open Gardens day was such a success. You had a lot of visitors! Your garden looks fantastic - I bet they were impressed, and amazed if they hadn't seen it before. Now you can spend some time relaxing on that sofa! ?

thank you melch . im not sure you can relax on concrete lol but I know what you mean . it was a great day but ive got to finish the tiling then onto the next project . take care by for now .

I meant to say that I particularly like the curvy design on the floor in the second photo - lovely!

yes I was racking my brains on what to do on there that would be different . I thought sugar skull in mosaic or colourful indian elephant profile . then I sore this pattern which was like this ish . I just baught some chalk did a squiggly line , broke the tiles and tiled in one colour up to them then did the same in white . the black ones cost £50 and I got the white ones out of a skip lol . im going to paint the grout between the white ones black and white between the black ones . I got some black masonry paint left over from the wall and I got some white for £6.95 out of aldi lol .

Sounds good! It's a very nice design. It's a good companion to the black wall.

Thats a great deal of money in one day well done all. I think its great that lots of people get to see and enjoy your work.

yes I was going to do it colourful but thought like you keep it simple to go with the wall . the plants can be the colour . thank you so much .

You're welcome!

Well done Leigh, makes a change from plants, interesting in their own right, Derek.

thank you Derek

A grand tour, with some things I hadn't seen before - makes up for not being able to attend in person! Its good to know it was such a success - everything shipshape and even the tree man had had a haircut!
