Camouflage - a novel approach

In the case of this garden, the view was marred by a line of electricity posts crossing an adjacent field.

What was required was a delicate, relatively unobtrusive approach that enhanced the garden without blotting out the rural views.

The answer was to add 1.8 metre (6 ft) poles in strategic positions, wrap these in wire netting and train honeysuckle up them. Elsewhere, groups of poles formed a climbing frame for roses.

This garden was subsequently approved by the National Gardens Scheme.
