THE THIRD AGE

collaborative effort between Candeo Design, Semken Landscaping and Will Wilson of Willie Wildlife Sculptures, took a more traditional approach than the other show gardens, creating a  ‘Plena’ was the only tree, beneath which sat a giant bronze sculpture of an apple. Waiting to be discovered, a small, round water feature was “hidden” in the garden and to bring a smile to the face, bronze chickens grazed on the lawn while bronze ducks slaked their thirst at the plant-encircled pond. The final sculpture, a feature that drew the eye to the back of the garden, was of a giant kangaroo paw flower. All sculptures were by Will Wilson and were hand-cast in bronze. won a Bronze Show Garden Award.
