Welcome to Henworld

Good (and serious) gardeners are allowed a few quirky things in the garden, to bring a few giggles. Henworld is my personal quirky garden space - a circular garden designed as a 'playground' for my hens.

I laid out bricks in the shape of a big letter 'H', with brick towers for hen statues. Wooden perches ran between the towers. In the garden compartments of the big 'H' I planted hebes, patches of silver beet and other hen-pecking delights. A living playground for my hens - well, that was the general giggly idea.

 You can see the Hen House in the background.

Alas - the fatal flaw. Hens don't play. Hey - I guess I knew that! But just sometimes, having an excuse to be silly makes the silliness so much more enjoyable.

Poultry Paradise

Henworld is right next to my proper Hen House and run. A miniature piece of theme-park paradise for the Moosey poultry - except they're not allowed in, because rooster is too pecky, the grey striped hens too scratchy, and the black hens poop all over the paths. Sad reality.
