I don't think it would have lasted as long if it hadn't had a neighbour's fence behind it. Originally we erected it as we didn't like the look of the fence. It was a strong ready made screen - ones we have made, to divide up the garden, just using the willow roll haven't lasted as long.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-17523831893260512152013-05-19T19:41:32.542+00:002013-05-19T19:41:32.542+00:00I've been pleased with the colour combination,...I've been pleased with the colour combination, DewberrySue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-57298935192669703982013-05-19T19:17:05.075+00:002013-05-19T19:17:05.075+00:00Well I think it all looks wonderful.

Mine is quite small and really for the children more than me so I do very little with it apart from some summer bedding plants each year. I would quite like a larger more interesting garden...but then where on earth would I find the time to do it!!Tanya.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08436595615435609755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-83163632908079855652013-05-19T19:12:44.702+00:002013-05-19T19:12:44.702+00:00I do love the willow screen, so pretty, and such a...I do love the willow screen, so pretty, and such a lovely border too.

It would be a long list! The blue and white colour scheme works very well - and I like the willow screen too.
