Unusual Front Gardens #8: Sculpture

Here's a garden spotted by Juliet from The Clockwork Dodo, who quite rightly said in her recent post she thought this garden deserved a place in my Unusual Front Garden series. It's in South Cambridgeshire and the owner has eschewed gardening for the chance to display the many and varied sculptures he makes in his spare time. It's well worth a trip to Juliet's blog to see the full story [not just this one - why not have a good look around whilst you're there? - Ed] and lots more pictures.

  6. What glorious sculptures! A tin dog is the best kind, in my openion. Mind you, I think one or two would probably be enough for me.

  7. Wonderfully whimsical. Not intimidating at all. Wishing for something of a similar size in my garden!

  8. Is that a pterodactyl lurking over the fence, or a buzzard? The dogs do look menacing...I wouldn't want to be a rusty "delivery girl" sculpture being surrounded by that lot.

  9. I love those dogs! We are so isolated no one would see such an amusing art piece at our house.
