Unique garden: have you ever travelled up Tatchbrook rd, Leamington Spa and wondered about the strange front garden? This summer you can come and look/talk to the artist

I have been developing my garden as an installation for two and half years

using the  american folk art of bottle trees to add light and get rid of the negative energy

I added CDs  to increase the light


This totem pole  has the feel of an Easter Island head

Bottles sparkle in the sun
The garden has developed as I have tried out different objects materials and techniques

The Garden can be seen at any time by walking past. the contents of the garden has had to be chosen carefully as the area is known for a lot of petty theft and vandalism.
The Council tried to stop me saying the bottles were dangerous someone might pick up a bottle and hit another and it might cause a fire.

 I have dealt with all their concerns and to date I have had 1 bottle smashed & a couple have been moved; not bad in over 2 years
You will be able to see the garden with my sculptures in July
