This was one of my husband's stocking fillers from me for Christmas. We have an allotment so this was an ideal subject for both of us He is a seasoned jigsaw puzzler so I wanted something fairly difficult. We laid all the pieces on our dining room table and it has been fun while we were passing into the kitchen to put the odd piece in as well as getting down with a glass of wine in the evening to do it. Because it was jampacked with detail there was a lot to go on when finding the pieces.
There was so much to see in the puzzle, and we had a lot of laughs looking at the different sections which were very humourous and had so many things going on. It became quite tricky near the end when we only had a mixture of green pieces left, but my OH put the last piece in place yesterday and we could see the puzzle in all it's glory. For someone used to doing puzzles it was just the right size for a challenge. Was a bit sad (is that a bit sad?) to have finished it now, but it gave us a lot of laughs on the way. Can't think of anything to complain about or suggest to improve as we both really enjoyed doing it

If you are buying this puzzle for an adult, there isn't a problem, but if you're buying it for a young child, try first to get a good-sized view of the picture on another website. Some of the images might not be suitable for some people. (Eg: the well-proportioned parachutist about to land in the gardn with the words 'Blue tits' emblazoned across the parachute.)

Overall, the design is good and is drawn very much in the style of a busy cartoon with lots of funny little areas, events or signs.

However, when viewed as a small-scale image, you might assume that this is mostly a picture of a great many gardens and that isn't always the case.

Bought as a present for a jigsaw fanatic. Went down really well, she couldn't wait to get stuck in! Success!

The puzzle arrived fast and packaged well but unfortunatly there was one piece missing which kinda spoils the puzzle when you cant finish it.

As with all great British puzzles I have been buying for my mother-in-law, this one is very good too. Mike Jupp and Gibson combination is a hit all over the world and I think we collected quite a few of them. Good qualty, print, design -nothing to fault and it is whole load of fun too. Also the delivery was super quick. So thanks for that!

This jigsaw was actually bought for adults but all ages in the family had hours of fun putting it together and enjoying the cartoons

My Dad loves doing puzzles he normally goes for beautiful scenery but this one has hidden fun things im sure he will enjoy doing this smiling all the way ;-)

I bought this jigsaw on the spur of the moment in a Hobby shop, and I'm glad that I did. I was attracted because I love gardening and thought it looked fun to do, I was looking for something that I could do in my spare time especially when it is raining. It is an excellent quality jigsaw and took me about a week to do, with a few hours here and there spent on it. I like the style of the jigsaw as it is humourous and has plenty of things going on in the jigsaw to laugh about and look at. I felt a great sense of achievement when I completed it - especially towards the end with all the green pieces left which made it challenging. I was sad too, as I had enjoyed it that much and not wanting it to end in a way. Silly I know, but I have just ordered my second one in this series - I love Farmyard to keep me happy. I can see myself ordering many more!

We like gardening so thought this would be fun. There are quite a lot of green parts but there are sufficient different textures to make them workable without too much trouble. There are a lot of funny parts which you may not notice on the box.

A great jigsaw from my son. Disappointed in the choice of subjects lately so this was great fun. Ideal when the weather has kept one indoors for so long. I did it without looking at the picture & it added to the enjoyment guessing where each 'little' picture would fit in - always got it wrong! Usual good product from Gibson.
