Wild and free...yessiree, that's me and my garden! I have a large garden on a very steep hill, with terraces for different 'rooms'. In the autumn, I can sit under the massive oak tree and watch the sunset, in other seasons I have places for each of them to enjoy. Be it the lorikeets, parrots and other birds enjoying the garden, or the droning hum of bees on a lazy summer day, it is all natural. Mind you, it took some work to get it to look natural, but I am happy in that co-ordinated chaos.
Continual work in progress, but wild and free sums it up perfectly.
You got me right on it first me perfectly thank you
