The fence between my neighbour and I was leaning toward my property, so I thought that I would try to support it in a way that was flattering to my garden. This is what I came up with.
At the back there is a mirror. Above it is a solar collector which stores power for a light inside a metal lantern, which shines down on the plants below. Inside it, is a double yellow hibiscus. At the front above is a concrete Greek God. My wife calls it “The Temple”
The fence is staying straight now, so “Mission Accomplished”.
