    At the beginning of this clip, I thought, Oh, No, not more boring modern box like concepts, but... Annie's ideas and implementation turned out to be better than the original plan. What a great outcome! The planting reminded me of the New Zealand bush and the sculptures really worked. The only jarring note was the guy who was a trifle narcissistic, although his suggestion to increase the height of the water feature, which looked fantastic btw, was a good one - he just needed to remember that the project was not all about him...

    Lots of clever camera angles and beautiful individual pieces but oh dear ... The screens are like vacant advertising hoardings. The garden is a little green version of Phoenix, Az. The challenge here would have been to create a quintessentially English garden in the small space - bursting with flowers, etc. through the seasons.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    @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.

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
