   I am starting to feel lust and envy (in a good way). Sculpturedale is the latest drop on my bucket list.

   Wow, I love this sculpture. I really enjoy using metal sculpture in my garden designs. I'm going to bookmark their website. Now.... onto the plants. I'm with tntreeman on that one.

   I love how much movement and vitality is communicated by the sculpture pieces and how they tickle the imagination. The gardens enhance the artwork and vice versa. I can't help but wonder if the placement of a certain piece becomes so perfect that it is struck off the For Sale list. I think I would find it impossible to give up the Dancer with the Red Ball.
   Barbara, your gardens are stunning and I would love to see those other areas you made mention of. You are both obviously tremendously talented people.

   Thank you for posting your pictures! Your husband is very talented and your gardens are the perfect setting for the sculptures. What fun the two of you must have picking and creating the right setting! Thanks for posting them!

   I recognized these sculptures immediately, before I read the captions. I too am guilty of driving by and having not visited. That will probably have to change. I never realized what beautiful gardens are among the sculptures. If I am going to be honest, I don't always love abstract pieces of twisted metal. Call me gauche ( I also generally prefer cheap wine to quality wine).However, I truly love your husband's work. It seems his main focus is animals, and what could fit better into the landscape, than wildlife? I love the greyhound and the crow. I was going to ask what you used as deer repellent, but then I thought maybe a deer would think twice before getting close to a life size rhino or lion. If I treat myself someday to one of your sculptures, I think I would like one of my English pointer striking a pose.

    The heron is the one that does it for me. The natural stillness of the bird resting at the water's edge lends itself naturally to a sculpture. How wonderful it would look perching over my Hakonechloa. Lovely work!

    Uh Oh, now I'm in trouble, I want them all! But what I really crave is a Tyranasaurus Rex patroling my wildflower meadow, would look spectacular alongside my dawn redwood... of course I'd need a complete Jurasic Park's worth of dinos, rapters on wires too... all I gotta do is rob a bank! Maybe I'd settle for a murder of crows, maybe one crow. I did check out the website, I'm suprised there's no page of prehistoric critters... mayhaps a life size brontasaurus wouldn't fit in the shop. lol And great photos, I love the dancer in the misty woodland glade. The photo of the billy goat is wonderful too... they're all magnificent. And lots of gorgeous plantings. Thank you for inviting me into your fantastic world.

    Barbara, please do keep sharing! I join all the others who love both your beautiful garden and your husband's sculptures. Hard to pick a favourite, but the rapturous feeling embodied in the person flinging up arms and embracing the misty garden, has won my heart. I would love to strike that pose on the rare days when my garden looks happily perfect.

    The combination of sculptures and flowers is breathtaking. The two dancers are my favorites but I also love the peacock and the crow. Every gardener should really be given a sculptor for a spouse or at least one of those clever guys who build unique potting sheds. Your contribution was lovely and made my day.

    I do like the dinosaur idea. Perhaps a troodon among ferns and horsetail, or a triceratops eating a gunnera

    How delightful! I love them all but my favorites are the dancer and the crow. And such a beautiful garden for their setting! Looking forward to more....

    I was expecting to see a sculpture of an aboriginal hunter or a rifled one stalking near a Miscanthus sinensis 'Zebrinus', but the pieces of art are great in a beautiful garden setting!

    The placement of each sculpture is perfect. What great additions to your flower gardens! I might have to rethink some of my own landscaping. Thank you for sharing.
