Garden and Sandstone


After a couple of years our garden wall has been completed. 

We were thinking of a gabion set-up. 

There was a lot of sandstone pieces available after our building project and in the area. We therefore decided to fill the baskets with the sandstone off-cuts. 

Our first project was a water feature around a 100 year old oak tree. 

The lilies is spouting water into a little water pond.

The original garden fence entrance gate and mail box

Hennie made us a new gate with a new post box.

The old un-used oven door is now the inside door of the mail box.

Thanks for the wonderful parties that we have joined
