Pole Lady

The newest addition to our garden in Shields Street in Clyde is our 'pole lady.'  She arrived a couple of weeks ago and she now has pride of place in our garden by the driveway, just inside our boundary.



 Each week I receive the 'Getgrowing' electronic newsletter from NZ Gardener and they always have several competitions in the form of draws. There is no skill to entering, just simply send off an email with your details.  So just before Christmas I was delighted to see my name in the prize list for one of the Pole People from Victorian Woodwork in Geraldine. I have long admired these garden sculptures Pole People from Victorian Woodworks  in Geraldine. You have probably seen many of these 'people' around the country.




The one that arrived for me is the 'Lady' and she is holding a basket. We decided that she would be great to display our street number. We live up a leg in driveway with three other houses and often guests get confused as to which is our place. So she now proudly stands guard to our property, standing among the lavenders, displaying our street number. Stephen has concreted her into the ground so that she can't wander off.
