I know I wanted to create a garden that's a haven for wildlife, but I never thought I'd have deer in the garden nibbling my beans! You can easily work out how tall they were by how far up they were able to munch. The poor creatures were obviously suffering in the recent heatwave.

What to get a gardener as a present? How about some willow to create a living sculpture which will grow stronger and more substantial over time. I even had an apprentice for some of the initial construction.
