The realistic fibreglass creature stands at the door to the sitting room, where Marie Mills is ensconced in a comfy chair looking out and up to Mt Taranaki. SALLY TAGG/NZ GARDENER Marie Mills says of her garden, "I don't plan anything – I just walk around and think, that would look good there." In her grief at losing her beloved Rodney, Marie threw herself into gardening this new section, alongside and over a stream. The magnificent mountain view is enhanced by the beauty of this south Taranaki garden. That's the same view Marie now has following the creation of the shrubbery hedge.
