Ham & High Review

Alison Oldham gave the Garden Sculpture & Ceramics exhibition a glowing review. Here are some of her comments. One joy of this display is the way nearly 200 items fit into the garden setting, emerging from luxuriant shrubs or accentuating the forms of plants. All are inventive interventions that enhance rather than intrude. Everywhere you look in this garden show there is something to delight the gaze.
