A creative friend has created a magical garden-within-a-garden. We bought most of the plants, the pond liner and some of the materials, but we also scavenged a lot of cobbles and the wonderful Cornish limestone slabs you can see. We currently have a drought locally, so the pond is not filled yet.
This miniature pond is designed to be soothing to the eye and spirit, but also to act a wildlife sanctuary for a variett of small animals, We had hardly finished when this young hedgesparrow came really close to us. LIke robins they follow the gardener.
At night the area appears magical.

Hi Richard,
Ah love your pond!
I am sure you will spend many happy times there once it is finished.
Looking forward to spending more time outdoors in the garden when the weather improves!

The garden is delightful, and even better that you used found objects when you could. And eventually the rains will come - it was unexpectedly sunny here today but tomorrow....well. It could snow. Thanks for sharing this.

That’s beautiful. It looks like a lovely oasis of peace. Especially love the detail of the Cornish Limestone.
