My garden

Post by Hutch11 »

Gday,

Just thought I'd put up a few photo's of my Japanese Garden.. it is a work in progress.. attached are some pics of my shishi odoshi garden and rain chain... however no more work will be done for a while as the finace has the ball and chain locked onto me as we are saving for our wedding. I did suggest we spend the money on completing the garden and we could have the wedding in the back yard but she just laughed.. oh well..

I have future plans for a koi pond.. but will have to settle for gold fish as Koi are illegal apparently?

Stunning start mate. Can't wait to see it finished. Where'd the big rocks come from?

Cheers Jarrod,

I was lucky and got the rocks for free from a mate building a new house out Lilydale way..

I would love one too, but my husband is addicted to whipper snippers.
