Sculpture and Plants in Harmony

Designer: Alan Dallas & Simon Wingett
Sponsors: S E Matthews & Wingett Design
Contractor: Matthews Landscaping

Inspirational outdoor art captured within a harmonious natural setting - this collaboration shows how man and nature can intertwine to produce something superb.

S E Matthews is celebrating more than 80 years of creating beautiful gardens, and has captured lifelong learning and enjoyment for all in this exquisite feature.

Bold, distinctive statements transform the area, with carefully chosen specimen trees, plants and unique sculptures. A bronze figure climbs to the top of a lone tree, and poignant figures delight in simple outdoor pastimes. Gateways frame tantalising glimpses of sculpture. Superb specimens provide a natural backdrop for creations in metal, clay, stone or wood. All the sculpture in this feature is designed to remain outdoors, and there is a mixture of fine and functional pieces.

These beautiful outdoor rooms include a place to sit, a shady spot for relaxation and views to delight the eye. Wander along mown grass walkways punctuated with sculptures, some standing out and others blending in with the scenery. Prepare to be surprised by the talented artists Mother Nature, S E Matthews and Wingett Designs, who have nurtured this diverse and delightful feature.
