Nick Baker - Gardens and Parks

YOU WILL NEED

> a board

> 5kg bag grit sand

> big cabbage

> 5kg bag ready-mix cement

> water

> an old bucket

> stick

> rubber gloves

> polythene sheet (or plastic bag)

1 First tip out the sand onto the board and make a mound out of it. The mound represents the depth and the size of your bird bath, so use your imagination.

2 Now cut the leaves off your cabbage, keeping them whole. Place them over the sand mound with their stems meeting in the middle.

3 Empty the bag of cement into the bucket and add water according to the instructions on the bag. Stir it thoroughly with a strong stick.

4 Pour the cement mix onto the top of the cabbage leaves and then, wearing the rubber gloves, spread it over the mound to a depth of at least 3cm.

5 Make sure the cabbage leaves, and any sand that is showing through the leaves, are well covered with the cement. Then smooth the top of the cement to a round or flat shape, depending on what you’re going to stand the bird bath on when it’s finished.
