Pebble Mosaic Path

One of my summer projects was to complete a pebble pathway down the centre of the potager.  This links to an earlier pebble feature I created in the front of the glasshouse.  I love the look of pebble mosaic and it is a very calming activity to place pebbles - i've linked in the pattern the old terracotta bricks that are a recurring material throughout the garden.  Our neighbour just gave us 1200 more - so there will be more brick paving to come and I like the concept that i'm recycling - well actually in truth it's probably more upcycling as I think the brick pathways are a bit classier than a chimney!.

Rustic Art Installation

Finally decided on a location for a terracotta sculpture that I purchased over 10 years ago on a trip to Tasmania with my mum and brother.  It is an Australian marsupial - the sugar glider (Peaurus breviceps - a gliding possum that lives in trees in Australia).

I decided on a lichen covered totara fence post collected on a trip to Taranaki - from an old abandoned Tarata shearing shed (I have a real obsession with old rural materials - rust, silvered timber and wire).  So the sugar glider now has pride of place in a corner of the potager.
