Garden description: I had been to the garden centre earlier in the day and seen something similar that I had admired but didn't want to spend the extra money at that time. That afternoon I was cutting out a lot of wisteria and while clearing up my mess I noticed I had a lot of long bendy canes and decided to have a go at making an obelisk. I started with three long pieces of bamboo pushed into the ground. I then used the wisteria to make hoops of different sizes (kind of like making wreaths). I then secured all of these onto the bamboo using copper wire twisted tight with pliers and finished it with more wisteria wrapped around the whole thing and secured. All I need now is to plant some beans so they can grow up and cover all the rough bits and it should look great!
