Sculpture in the Garden

Last October I made my first visit to the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden, which opens once again in May. I look forward to my next visit, to see what has changed.


Here is a taster of what to expect.

Garden Burner

Light up the longer evenings with this atmospheric garden burner.

I saw it at the Landscape Show at Olympia, on the Luxius Outdoor Kitchen stand.





Beautiful Sculpture

I'm always asked for ways to make enclosed spaces look more attractive.


If a wall has enough light, my first thought is to cover it with plants. Either climbers or 'Green Walls'. But a low maintenance and striking choice, is to place a sculpture there.
This rusted metal fern sculpture is beautiful, and is at Wisley at the moment.







April at RHS Wisley


This is one of the best times of the year to visit Wisley. The unusually good weather has made everything even more impressive.







The Magnolias and Camelias are particularly good, as we didn't have the usual high winds to destroy the blooms.








Even the new leaf growth looked stunning.
