| To the hills and the vales, To the rocks and the mountains, To the musical groves And the cool shady fountains, Let the triumphs of Love, And of Beauty be shown! Go revel, ye Cupids, The day is your own. Nathum Tate (1652-1715) |
The Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden
This is an exotic display of sculpture and ceramics in a romantic woodland water-garden setting, incorporating both still pools and a flowing stream.
Hannah Peschar and Anthony Paul are amongst the heralds of a new style of dramatic gardening for the 21st century emphasising the structural importance of a green garden. Flowers are kept to a minimum in the mainly water gardens, furnished by exhibition sculptures surprising you with wit or drama at unexpected meeting places, a modern rendering of the traditional Renaissance garden.
A New Zealander by birth, Anthony Paul has earned himself an international place in contemporary garden design with some notable private garden designs to his credit. Visit their own web site.
