At the aptly named “Sculpture in the Garden”, Len Wallace has created elaborately carved wooden structures such as a clock tower with moving parts plus many metal sculptures including a grass tree of wire and recycled objects.

Len’s sculptures provide focal points in a drought tolerant garden created by his wife Janice featuring a variety of ornamental grasses, artmesias and succulents. The ornamental grape is stunning in its autumn colours.

Len’s sculpture gallery will be open also. Teas and lunches will be available with proceeds benefiting the Grenfell “Men’s Shed.”

At “The Roses”, Geoff and Jan Parlett have taken a more folk art approach to their garden decoration. Roses flourish in this climate especially the David Austin varieties which are chosen in shades of pink, mauve and white.

“ Ours is a more whimsical garden. Initially we designed the wooden sculptures and quirky signs for the children’s entertainment. The garden has a definitely feminine touch to it,” says Jan.

The Roses garden opening will include plant and gift stalls, lunches and teas. Proceeds benefit Grenfell Hospital Auxiliary.

Opening as part of Australia’s Open Garden Scheme, a non-profit organisation promoting the knowledge and pleasure of gardens and gardening. Each year the Scheme opens the finest and most exciting private gardens across Australia to the garden loving public.

“Sculpture in the Garden” and “The Roses” will be open between 10am & 4.30pm on April 12 and 13 at an entry fee of $5.00 each. Children are admitted free.
