    Looking very good. Did someone say you are in Perth, I have an aunt there and the in-laws live in Crieff. They have a beautiful garden that is virtually all on an incline. Best thing is they are within walking distance of Glenturret Distillery [​IMG] and Macrosty Park.

    What a transformation Scotkat, really like the beach cobbles, that's exactly what I'm in the middle of doing to my front plot, I'm also using driftwood from the beach. My plot is much smaller than yours so I'm getting a bag of cobbles each time I pass the garden centre on the way home and transferring them handful by handful from the boot of the car to the plot, gradually getting there. Look forward to seeing the final pictures [​IMG]

    Barneyb last yr did a part of the garden as a beach theme not sure if I posted pics here.

    I put in some small grasses and sea shells still to get the drift wood.

    We were like you bags of pebbles from the garden centre.

    And yes MEF750 they are zinc containers a smoky grey from Dobbies.

    Label said to care for clean with baby oil.

    BB one of the rocks is large with a hollow and if rain water collects when we ever get rain a ready made bird bath for the birds.
