Walled Garden

This year I hope to start my walled garden. I might have told some of you that I would like a tranquil contemplative enclosed space behind my summerhouse. I'm not sure how many arched entranceways I want yet but the picture above shows a brick arch that I stumbled across in Chepstow recently and it pretty much ticks the boxes for me. Just down the road in Portskewett is a skip hire company and they sort out and "reclaim" old bricks at a ridiculously cheap price. Old bricks are exactly what I want; so they immediately have the look of an old Victorian or pushing it slightly, post-medieval garden. Most of the wall will be hedged which will take years to grow. Only the gateways will be brick.
