Default When garden styles collide

My colleagues came up with a couple of quite evil suggestions:
- did we ever collect slugs and snails at night, if so what did we do with
them;


Or how about a nice long washing line , now that the area is cleared? You
could put out your old gardening clothes or winter underwear to air.

A nice tree house for little kiddywinks to sit in with binoculars on a
Saturday afternoon, though I do like the idea of the floodlit notice
especially at night
However seeing what people are prepared to live with, in fact pay oodles
of money for in the name of D. Garvin's design ideas, (namely iron
structures and huge great walls,) the neighbours might enjoy a nice
billboard or two!

Of course there are those sheds that people erect on allotments, usually
cobbled together with bits of old wallpapered walls, old windows and tin
roofs? We're having our patio doors replaced next month so we have 4 huge
double glazed units you could use for skylights.


I love those kind of sheds. Many years ago the uncle of a kid I used to play
with had a shed made entirely from doors scrounged from demolition sites.
The walls, roof, everything was doors. He'd used glazed doors for windows,
and even the door was a door!
