Noob Alert.

Hello from Leicester!

I'm new to the forums so thought I would say hello! I spent the last few years building Garden walls, summer house, laying patios and all that kind of thing and now it's time to get serious with the plants etc! I know a few bits and bobs but nothing more.

My garden is set out to a small castle turret I built (I was a bricklayer) the gardens evolving all the time.

Not quite sure what else to say :-)

It started with building the garage on the right


Then I carried on and built this :-




and added in side walls near the house







Made all sorts of funky little things

Its more established now, This is a picture from a couple of years ago, I shall be sure to take an up to date picture now I have found this place, if anyones interested ;-)





Thanks for looking.

 

oh yes please to more photos

welcome

loopy

 

It looks like this now :-) Took these today, I'm not good with a camera




;-)

 

Good evening George and welcome to the site.:gnthb:

 

hello and welcome.
love the castle.

 

Welcome to the site George:thumb:

Wow,your garden is amazing and you have made a fantastic work of art with it.Even your line prop looks good:gnthb: and love the way you have the ivy scrambling all over the walls and the drawbridge chains

Our local garden centre{Formaly Wyvale}displays folly type thingys with arches and windows,done as a ruin but you only get a small corner piece and when I picked up a leaflet the other week they are quiet expensive so will have to wait to win the lottery before I have one of those:D

 

Hello George:thumb:
Now that is my kind of garden feature!..:pala:....................

 

What a brilliant folly Well done, I saw similar 'ruined' castles for sale at Hampton Court Flower Show last year. They cost a fortune!

 

Hello there and Welcome.

 

Welcome to the forum. I think you've made a few people jealous already!!

 

Welcome George, Great folly,love the garden, neat but not too neat.:lollol:
It's nice to see someone with a bit of creativity.
