Stone Garden Sculpture

Garden Art? Stones on a Stump

I use river stones a lot in the garden for edges, and this is a set of left overs from the edge of the Dog-Path Garden. My children have joked about this stylish 'sculpture', and so it stays. Hee hee...

The river stones are here in the garden naturally, as the Moosey Garden is situated on an old river flood plain. Our front paddock is extremely stony, and some places in the garden borders are annoyingly stony to dig.

There is good money to be made in river stone sculpture - I've seen hundred dollar structures made just from river stones. My humbler effort doesn't quite match up, though...

But is it Garden Art?

My motley collection of assorted nonsense masquerading as Garden Art contains much more than than stone circles on stumps - there's a battered and peeling garden gnome who has survived being used as a cricket stump. Hmm...

Update - 2010

This photograph was taken over ten years ago. Since then the garden has grown, the stump has been submerged in greenery, and the stones redirected as yet another garden edge expands ever outwards.
