Creating a wee sculptural 'courtyard'

 

We have turned the area below our kitchen window into a small plant and sculpture courtyard as you can see from the photo above. You can hardly call it a courtyard but that is how we refer to it. A good place for birds, butterflies and bees.

The installation that completed the courtyard was the making of the post screen-fence you can see below. The posts were rescued by Fiona earlier this year when land developers were pulling out a very very old farm fence as part of a land development. They are now installed into our garden with all their history and quirkiness.

A few other bits in the space can be seen below - yes there is a bit of rust to be seen. We love the quirky nature of the insect house that sits atop of the dead tree trunk with its rusty wee birds.

Looking down on the courtyard space makes us smile.
