It's great to see the raised herb & flower planter that Bryony has created with reclaimed tropical hardwood railway sleepers, and one that is equally admired by her lovely dog. Definititely a place to sniff and inhale those fabulous smells!

What an original and beautiful creation. A unique light, sculptured from a length of oak railway sleeper that has been lovingly sanded and oiled to create a work of art. It's clear to see how much you have enjoyed making it and it will be great to see your future projects.

Thanks to both of you for all the photos and step by step descriptions of the building of your railway sleeper project. You have created a really attractive and classical looking vegetable garden which sits beautifully next to the greenhouse, hedge and trees. Yes, the railway sleepers are really heavy to move and put in place, but once you have managed that, you have created some wonderful raised veg beds that will be a source of pleasure for decades to come.

It is really satisfying to be contacted at the beginning of a project, when someone is at the design and ideas stage, and then to finally see the finished handywork when it all come to fruition. It's great to see Christine's triangular raised herb bed that she created using new oak railway sleepers, and how she transformed an unused space into a functional kitchen garden.

What a fabulous railway sleeper table and an invaluable set of photos. It's not only amazing to see such an exquisitely beautiful table that Brynjar has created from weathered reclaimed railway sleepers, but also fascinating to see the different stages he has gone through to get there. All credit to him.

Solid and sturdy looking raised garden beds, constructed from weathered tropical hardwood railway sleepers that add that bit of character and age that gently transform the garden, and provide a substantial planting area.

What an beautiful collection of railway sleeper creations. The curved railway sleeper seating area is impressive and spectacular, and I love your other imaginative additions. The 'stepping stone' pathway, the little bench, the raised beds - all very delightful.

Thanks to Heather for the wonderful photos of her excellent project. A lovely 'tiled' effect by using small sections of old tropical hardwood railway sleepers to imaginatively create a unique, weathered, wooden patio surface. Really attractive, hard wearing and an impressive transformation of what was there before.

Yes, it's a popular saying that is shared by many gardeners! Lawns are gradually nibbled away by the additions of endless planting areas, veg plots and railway sleeper raised beds, until the main grass area has been reduced to narrow walkways between the herbacious borders! It's the unstoppable and exciting natural progression of creating more and more growing areas. Of course, there may be objections to this. What is this obsession (by mainly men) to have large striped lawns, as though they were recreating Wimbledon, Wembley or a croquet lawn? I'm sure it's connected to the power and excitement of turbo lawnmower gadgetry!
