The secret to a garden people want to explore..

You may think that sculpture and garden art aren't for you...but it creates focal points, year-round interest and makes even the smallest garden a place to linger or explore...Kingham Lodge Sculpture exhibition is held every two years in this beautiful private garden. Creator of the exhibition is Christopher Stockwell, who shares his advice on how to choose sculpture and art for your garden. He takes us round the Kingham Lodge gardens showing how garden art and sculpture can create stories and adventures in the garden. Kingham Lodge Sculpture supports CATS (Cotswolds Art Through Schools) to bring the arts into schools, especially in deprived areas. It also helps fund the Sculpture Park in Harare and other charities. https://www.sculptureatkinghamlodge.com/ The gardens are only open to the public during the sculpture exhibition, but there are rental cottages (Kingham Cottages) which have access to the garden at all times.
