Gardening solace

Iwould just like to say what a wonderful magazine GN is. After my wife passed away just after the first lockdown, I subscribed to GN and this has helped me focus and ward off some of the loneliness 2020 has bestowed on a lot of us. I decided to make some obelisks using recycled roofing lathe for my clematis ‘Viennetta’, which should arrive in March, so I thought I’d share my picture with other readers. Hope you like them.

Simon says: So sorry to hear of your loss, Dave. I do hope your love of gardening will continue to make things easier for you, and we at GN will strive each week to keep producing a magazine that will assist you. And your obelisks look wonderful – well done!
