Hi Nigel
The hinges are not quite as rare as hens teeth, and I don't think people really value them in monetary terms (yet) but I've told anyone who uses my stuff to be careful not to lose any hinges . When they're gone, they're gone. There's a finite number out there.
The posts and hinges are worth picking up from Ebay as part of a job lot if spotted. I picked some up this way but sorry, none excess to hand. I had considered resin casting some replacement hinges if they ever went completely in the future. I often wonder where the original moulds were. Resurrected-Airfix for instance, shipped all their moulds from France and elsewhere into one place last year and some of those pre-date FG by a decade. I wouldn't be surprised if the FG moulds still existed somewhere.
The "bushes" on top... do you mean the conifer things? I thought they were from the pond? The gates and posts as far as I know were supplied without flowers of any sort.
Somebody else may have some. If not, my advice is ... Watch Ebay and look closely at the pictures....pick up a cheap job lot with some gatepost parts and hinges in there.

I have quite a number of gate posts, "wrought iron" fences & gates in
the Britain's Floral Garden (plastic) series. i have some 8 posts but
only 3 tops; I have about 5 or 6 wrought iron fences & two pairs of
gates. I only have a couple of the bushes that fit in the post tops
and I have none at all of the plastic hinge brackets that the fences &
gates fit into.
Has anyone got any spares of these? I will happily pay for them if you
have any, as otherwise I have a number of items of very little use.
Many thanks.
Nigel
