Topiary swan, that's it !
Since taming Shenstone's back garden hedge we have uncovered a couple of self - planted box. Paul asked what I thought we should do with them and I suggested using them for topiary, neither of us has previous experience but fancy a go. But what shape to adopt ?
It has to be a Buckinghamshire Swan .... or is that being to ambitious ?

Go for it Xela with topiary all it takes is a little imagination, some patience and of course a bit of time. I have a chicken, duck, the swan, squirrel and another lonicera just waiting to be turned into something enchanting. I have to say once you get the topiary bug there really is no stopping you.Hel.xxx.
What else?
