Love to know what you guys think of my new garden. I have just planted it out with some large Juniper procumbens , and Japanese box. I have still a lot of work to do on it but I think it will turn out well. Thanks for looking , Greg

Greg what did you use on top of the poles?

I love the look, especially the seat. Great place to sit, relax and have a few I bet. :D

Hi Again, Thanks for the kind comments on my modest garden. To answer a few questions :?:

Jamie, The lantern cost about $350 but was well worth it . The tree in the background is a fig , I will try and post a pic of the whole backyard soon .

nitram72, The poles are topped with large pavers. Let me know if you would like me to post more detailed pics of the poles. Yes the seat is a great place to sit and unwind with a drink in the afternoon.

I will put up a few more pics, hope you enjoy them. A lot of hard work has gone into my Bonsai's and garden I hope it is worth it :)

Yes please! Have you secured the pavers to the poles - and if so, how?

BB, your garden looks amazing - and very neat and tidy. It's a credit to the work you've put into it.

Nice garden BB
Well worth the effort

I still have a young kid, so cannot do this yet as the balls are still flying :-)

Greg, Wow that looks great!!
Very nice little Japanese style garden you have there :D In a few years when the plants all get a little bigger it will look great! The azaleas and boxes will suit perfectly trimmed into balls as Jamie suggested.
Very inspiring indeed! Thanks for sharing :D
