Hello From England

[Daren]

I'm Daren a full time Horticulturist for the past 30 years and counting I've grown everything from Cacti to roses, Topiary and Wicker making. Fungi's interest me just as ferns trees and shrubs.. But hay loads to learn, do and get better at. I believe gardening and horticulture are wonderful tools in life we are given hand folks & trails, loppers and chainsaws and give and take life as we plan our garden . weeds are compost lol. Well not sure how to say hello but not going to list everything I have done and not but if your wondering about my aviator pic well that's my hydrangea dog I made last month. started life a two years back as a wicker dog & ended up stuffed with hydrangea blooms this October. In summer the willow grows and has to be clipped & given a hair cut every month. Anyway looking forward to reading the Gardening forums

Wow, this is a beautiful project! I'm so impressed with this. I wish I had the imagination to create something this lovely, but I would completely ruin it in the process. I might be able to manage building the inner part of it, but once the growth came into play, I would destroy everything. I think you did a wonderful job, even if you do still have a lot to learn.

More Well Ok I messed about and tried a few things Here is my Big Rabbit At the time being cuddled by a clematis in bloom Some people think it looks more Kangaroo than rabbit lol but at about 6ft lol it is a big rabbit

 

[Jonathan Tebbutt]

Th at is quite cool, I have 2 rabbits at home, but i think they might be a little scared by a 6ft bunny.... But I like the way the Clematis is working its way around it
