So we will all be living in stilt houses and have lots of decking then. We should be OK for a while at 560 ft above sea level.

I like the naturalness of the design and the colours of the veg look lovely, but I'm not keen on the whiteness of the sculpture. It doesn't quite look in harmony with the garden.

It always amuses me when I look round the show gardens how many have dangerous drops off seating areas and rills you could put your foot down if you weren't paying attention, and I'm always waiting for the presenters to trip up or fall off when they are talking into the camera while negotiating these gardens. I know they are just for show, but they are certainly a contrast to all the health and safety measures people with open gardens have to take. I walked round one stately home type garden recently and they had painted all the tree roots in the paths and any low branches over them with white paint to avoid trips and bumps.

Hi Plumpudding. Perhaps it would age with a little green on it and look much more natural then.
