Some 20 sculptors have submitted works suitable for outdoor display, in bronze, stone, steel or wood, including hanging mobiles and some water sculptures.

The award-winning Irish gardener Paul Martin has created a suitable backdrop to these pieces by designing a number of real garden areas in the gallery, Astro-turfing the floor and using real plants, shrubs and flowers. The results are stunning and the exhibition is running for three weeks.
