What a sight! Planters full to the brim with gorgeous flowers. A wonderful example of railway sleeper raised beds overflowing with amazing colours and scent.

Most landscapers simply stack railway sleepers on top of each other and then screw them together with Timberlok railway sleeper screws. Job done! So, it is refreshing to see someone taking the more skillful and arduous option of actually jointing them by hand. Impressive, time consuming, but attractive.

Brilliant to see the landscaping almost finished. An immensley impressive and spectacular project undertaken in arduous conditions. No machinery for digging or carrying the railway sleepers & steel H beams into the garden. Amazing!

Shouldn't we know about this? An operating table? Extra beds in hospital corridors? Are things really that bad in the NHS? Actually, it turns out that an ex-ambulance is a perfect vehicle for a joiner collecting timber!

It's surprising how fast freshly cut oak railway sleepers change from golden yellow to bleached silvery grey. It's one of those unavoidable facts of life that outside timber (AND HAIR!) eventually goes grey, unless you chose to colour it with wood stain. Unsure if hairdressers would approve, though. I knew there was a reason why I lost my hair!!

An incredibly special walled garden. Not only for the meandering paths that explore the endless patchwork of spectacular planting and vibrant borders, but even the empty railway sleeper beds that excitedly await herbs, vegetables, fruit & flowers! An overwhelming sense of peace & relaxation that flows throughout this volunteer run paradise.

Old whisky puncheons, planted with striking shrubs, brilliantly compliment this ancient Yorkshire market town. The tradition of making oak casks goes back thousands of years, and certainly well before the fortifications of Helmsley's ancient stone castle.

A Yorkshire oasis enabling you to breathe and relax as you explore the kitchen garden, with a sense of belonging rather than exclusion. A wonderful collection of plants fed by the rotating railway sleeper compost bays.
