About a month ago I was looking at all of your amazing outdoor enclosures thinking to myself, "I really want to make one of those for Darwin".
Well, I took a stroll around the yard and found what I think, is the perfect spot. It's an old flowerbed that hasn't been touched in about a year, completely overgrown and filled with creepy, deteriorated garden sculptures.
Since I still live in my parents home, I asked for their permission to dig it up and turn it into a lovely little garden for Darwin. They agreed and told me that as long as I payed for the supplies I could do whatever I wanted with the little piece of land.
It is a 2ft x 20ft strip. Not very wide but then again, I just have a Greek so he should be able to turn and move about just fine.
Here are a few photos of the untouched plot.
You can kinda see the old, rotten pieces of wood that outlined the previous garden. Had to pull those out, which wasn't easy!
You can really see how long the plot is. Goes up the whole side of the garage. (Which is only used for storage, no cars)
Started pulling out weeds, throwing down organic soil and rushing back and forth to Home Depot to get some garden fencing and stone bricks. This is what we have so far.
I added the little bench, but my Dad decided to throw in some large rocks and some turtle/tortoise sculptures. I'll have to think about if I want them in there or not.
Last view of the other side, I have the stone bricks on the side and the garden fencing in the front. I tested it's weight and it is very sturdy. Although, I do plan on staying near the enclosure whenever he is out as I know other animals could easily get in.
Just needs his edible plants in there and I think we are good to go!
