Topiary is part of our garden. Sometimes you can identify the shapes, other times it is abstract but always seems to highlight every angle of the garden.

This is my topiary bird, in a topiary basket, partly hidden by a mass of flowers. The two chairs on the right are for the grandparents, the football belongs to their grandchildren and the croquet mallets indicate family games in the walled garden. It is a moment in time and gone before you know it.
