Statues in Garden Design

I first really started admiring garden statues at Cothay Manor where a magnificent stag lords over the wildflower meadow. Statues in Garden design can focus the eye, enlighten a dull corner and enhance a garden.

David Harber and his team demonstrated their skill at designing and positioning statues at their show at Eaton Square where the Torus shone out in the simple design of lawn and trees adding a harmony where the shadows of the trees were brought down to our eye level. The Chalice pool, with it’s slow rotating water was soothing in the courtyard area.  At the end of a hot day, dangling your fingers in felt refreshing and relaxing.

The bronze Quill was a really cleaver, illuminating the garden from it’s rather dark corner. I watched a number of people go up to look for the lighting but whilst it was gleaming in  the evening light there was no electricity. The Obelisk was an absolute treat as it was placed in the shady area and was so cleverly situated as at times it was almost lost.  It brought light and joy to a dark area.
