the garden voyeur: laid hedges


okay can't help myself
i have been spying on other people's yards again
(well an empty paddock to be honest)
this time out the back of Westbury
on the way to Osmaston
now this is something I've never come across in Australia before
I've seen them across Britain and Europe
they are laid hedges

take an old decrepit  and overgrown  hedge
add one very skilled traditional crafts person
and viola !
a renovated hedge
i give the crafts person extra points for
having to deal with nasties like hawthorn
that is laced with blackberry and gorse
its a work of art
a fence
a living wildlife haven
heritage and tradition
