Key Focal Elements for Inclusion in the Artistic Design of your Garden

We would like to present a number of possible sites that we feel have strong artistic design merit for creating strong focal features and interest within the formal and informal garden landscape.

Please note that we do not stock any of these products they are only available directly from the companies shown.

 

This wonderful tree made of stainless steel with a myriad of glass tear drops was part of the Westonbirt Gardens show.

More recently I came across it (or a twin) in the grounds of stately Longleat House near Warminster, home of Lord Bath, the famous Lions and its well televised wildlife park.

I believe that it was designed and made by a local artist in Frome, Wiltshire.

The following are links to specially chosen works that we feel require consideration for use in your outside (or internal) space.

Philip Simmonds is firmly established as one of Britain’s leading designer makers of large sculptural ceramics. Formally trained in Ceramics, his work is much sought after and features in fine gardens, landscapes and interiors worldwide. His designs are inspired by architectural and garden styles, and celebrate the magnificent colour palette of changeable English weather.

In his Wiltshire studio, Philip carefully hand coils each pot paying meticulous attention to detail. His work is fresh, honest and very beautiful - qualities which will accentuate your own outdoor space.

Philip Simmond’s pots are often described as intrinsically ‘calming’, ‘peaceful’, and as ‘bringing a quiet stillness to the garden’. Enduring and timeless, these pots add the finishing touch to a beautiful garden.
