Title: garden backdrop
Post by: ACE on May 12, 2009, 18:57:48
I know some of you like to a sneak preview into some of our show gardens, This is the backdrop for a garden that will be built at Hampton court this year.
I made it from old ceramic tiles, mirrors and broken roof slates, you could say it is recycled garden art. The circular spaces will be filled by some stained glass windows featuring flowers.  Also it will be donated to some worthy cause after the show. We also have a garden pavilion that cost a few thousand that is being used at The NEC which will be raffled for Age Concern, so don't let the Charity envelopes remark make you think I don't care.

The pavilion is for a completely different garden and we are not allowed to 'play with it'.
