City Garden





I was working at a city livery company a few nights ago which had a wonderful garden surrounded by concrete and glass office blocks.


The big square planter was a Victorian water cistern which was salvaged from a building in Threadneedle Street.


It was an oasis, just feet away from the rush and noise of the city.

Looks like an amazing place amongst all the city buildings. The planters look good to especially the blue flower, its a good blue.

Cheers Mark

Very nice. Still, if it were mine I'd plant espaliered top fruit all along those walls, fill that cistern full of carrots (take that, carrot root fly! Hah!) and dig up all that lawn and bung in some spuds and runner beans and rhubarb instead.
