Britain's largest Georgian walled gardens and the meticulous restoration project of the Cronins since 2000. Open in partnership with National Trust Croome.
The gardens are back open for the season and this year we tried something new by launching a series of indoor and outdoor art exhibitions for our visitors to enjoy. The first 3 artists included metal sculptors Diccon Dadey and Simon Probyn, and local i-phone photographer Shirley Jones.
Diccon Dadey – a metal sculptor working in steel to fabricate a wonderfully eclectic collection of modern and traditional house and garden art in 3D form. Photo credit: Peter YoungWe loved the sheep and lambs by Diccon Dadey so much that they are now full time residents of the gardens, thanks to a very generous gift by a family member. Photo credit: Peter YoungShirley loves to photograph her local environment, often revisiting sites many many times in different weather, seasons and lighting conditions. Shirley loves to get intimate with a place and really know it. And, she photograph all her work using her iphone! Photo credit – Peter YoungSimon is a sculptor who works using heavy industrial steel. Based in rural Herefordshire, he creates abstract and figurative works of art from both found and new material. He takes the man-made architectural steel designs and lets them subtly dictate their new purpose. Photo credit – Annette Davenport
