artplants

When I was returning from Purdon Conservation Area, I stopped in at Kiwi Gardens, where they feature an interesting mix of perennials and garden sculpture. There is a fine selection of potted plants for sale, and you can see mature perennials in the beautiful display gardens.

The sculptures are an added bonus. Kiwi Gardens hosted the Art in the Garden event on June 20-21st, but you can still see a selection of art work on display. If you look in the background of the hillside garden, below, you can spot the first sculpture that caught my eye while still in the parking lot.

At the top of the hill is Shayne Dark’s “Out of the Blue“, which seems to glow with its own blue radiance. The following photos show a closer view of Dark’s work, and a selection of other pieces. If you are in the Perth area, plan on stopping by Kiwi Gardens.
