MORG Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Checked this out the other day paying particular attention to the Juliflorae branches A great idea but executed in a bit of a half-assed way. Ceramic pots and paving stones would have been a vast improvement on plastic pots and white rope. But I guess funding is tight and I'm a hypercritical bastard.
