Here's 'Meta-Mor-Phosis' by Paul & Laurey Carey in our 2026 Sculptures in the Landscape Exhibition. This piece is about the link between the Mermaid myth & the dangers of lost communities through rising sea levels. Objects around its neck symbolise the choking plastic waste found in the oceans.

Three intruiging figurative sculptures by Lisa Delarny are nestled together surrounded by woodland spring plants. Gaia, Magical Cameleon and The Wolf Within are part of our 2026 Sculptures in the Landscape Exhibition, with 101 pieces to discover dotted all around the garden. lisadelarny.com

The blue Himalayan Poppies (Mecanopsis) are well and truly in flower in the garden this week and contrast wonderfully with the colourful Rhododendrons, Magnolia and Azaleas.

The unfurling of the ferns around the woody areas of the garden creates a wonderful scene in spring, especially around one of our 2026 exhibition sculptures, Reflection II by Helen Greene. We have 101 new sculptures in this year's Sculptures in the Landscape Exhibition. #sculpure #ferns #gardens

We have some amazing ruby red Rhododendrons creating vivid walkways and complementing our red Chinese style foot bridges. Don't miss the Rhododendrons in full bloom this May.
