Now that's bush craft: Neurologist wows neighbous with expert topiary shaped like skull and giant hands

Neurologist Jeremy Gibbs stunned his neighbours with his gardening expertise - after carving a skull and giant pair of hands into his bushes.

Brain expert Jeremy Gibbs has adorned his £800,000 home with elaborate topiary including a series of animals holding hands.

The 57-year-old medic, who works for East and North Herts NHS Trust, has been carving 'brilliant' sculptures in his garden for nearly two decades.

His neighbour William Osborne, 65, said: 'I have always thought they are brilliant.

'How nice is it to see something original. It took me a while to realise what they were at first but they are wonderful.'

Another neighbour, Gillian Sainsbury, 75, added: 'People seem to enjoy them and they are quite pretty.'

Residents on his street in Welwyn Garden City, Herts., have been stopping to admire his expertly-crafted bushes for years.

Dr Gibbs yesterday (Tues) declined to comment on his spectacular garden.
