12ft Hedge Made Into Elephants

“A homeowner concerned that his garden was becoming a jungle – has transformed it into a herd of elephants. Green-fingered Gavin Hogg fell in love with the wildlife during a safari in Kenya. So much so, that when he returned to Britain, he found an inspired way to recreate a little bit of Africa in his back garden. The 49-year-old painstakingly carved out a herd of elephants from an overgrown hedgerow. He spent two days crafting the seven adults and three babies with a trimmer, shears – and a pair of scissors for the fiddly bits. The result is a striking 100ft-long trail of green elephants that stretches around the corner of his family home outside Brecon in Mid Wales.” w/ photos
