A real-life Womble created a beautiful garden from other people's rubbish - growing plants in a fireplace and old pairs of wellies.

Lynn Cameron, 61, described her garden as 'looking like a dumping ground' when she moved in 30 years ago, full of broken glass, bricks, and a fridge freezer. 

She didn't earn enough to have disposable income to spend on renovating it, but keen gardener Lynn began to reuse and recycle other people's rubbish.

A bed frame has been used to support fruit plants, and old tyres helped create a pond in the lush garden in Alva, Clackmannanshire, which recently welcomed 100 visitors.

Gran-of-four Lynn compared herself to The Wombles, kids' TV favourites who trawled Wimbledon Common for discarded junk they could repurpose.

The Wombles became mascots for AFC Wimbledon when the club formed on the common in 2002 and included So Solid Crew rapper MC Harvey as a former player.
