Manufacturer's Description
Founded in 1903 Gibson Games is still run by the Gibson family and is the oldest British-owned company in the industry. It prides itself on the quality of its puzzles, both in the materials and manufacturing. The picture is the most important feature of any jigsaw puzzle and Gibsons take great care in selecting the images used. All Gibsons jigsaws are based on paintings rather than photographs, this enables the image to tell a story more readily and on the back of each box you’ll find information on the painting and the artist. Gibsons specialise in traditional images of British life and countryside and features the work of many renowned British artists. Regular puzzlers will be familiar with its distinctive metallic blue boxes.

Mike Jupp has had a very varied artistic career from working as a marketing designer to creating cartoon characters, and of course as a painting or images for jigsaws. His distinctive images are packed with humorous details, the more you look, the more you see.

Customer Reviews

Look for a good view of picture before ordering
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.

Boring!
I usually LOVE this series of jigsaws - 'I love......'
However, this one seemed to lack the humour of most of the others AND seemed to lack the huge detail of most of the others too.
With the others, it feels as if each piece you pick up has something going on in it.
This one however is green...... and green............ and green.......
................. and that's about it!
Not one I'd recommend personally but, I am sure it would suit others.
As always the jigsaw pieces itself are of high quality as it seems all Gibson's ones are.

Great present
Bougth this as a gift or ny girlfrends mum who is into gardening and she loved it. Really good comedy on the picture.
