Very pleased on how an outline concept got translated into a quality finished product. We have now planted Japanese Maple, Cactus that shop claims can be grown outdoors in London, 5 No Lavender, 4 Roses and some Bluebell bulbs (see photos). We hope for a blaze of colour next summer! Photos as is are attached. Couple more photos as turned out very well.
