In recent years a dynamic new generation of artists and gardeners have completely redefined garden sculpture, making plants the focus rather than the backdrop of astonishingly diverse living sculptures. This book draws together some of the best examples from around the world, arranging these eclectic works according to how they were made. With superb colour photography of the sculptures in their natural settings, Living Sculpture overturns preconceptions about what is possible in the context of both gardening and art.

This review is from: Living Sculpture (Hardcover)
The incredible living scuptures in this book range from enormous to small, from one-of-a-kind to I-could-do-that. Giant moss covered stone sculptures lying on the forest floor were wonderful but the best part of the book is page 82 - the sod furniture. The book says sod furniture (for outdoors, obviously) has been used since the 13th century. I can't wait to try my own. This is an amazing book that any gardener or artist would love.
