Wow! Henry Moore Sculpture and Fabulous plantings
The numerous different types of gardens within the Gardens were exciting, even in late fall. There are many shapes, sizes and ground treatments. The dried plantings also offered great shapes, textures and sizes. I can hardly wait to see them all green and in bloom in spring, summer, and early fall before many of the decidous plants were brown for the winter. In summer it will be intriguing to visit the Japanese Tea Garden Tea House.
But, the best and most surprising was the fabulous placement of numerous Henry Moore's abstract(?) sculptures. They could be viewed from multiple places and were in most of the gardens. Even as a novice in art appreciation, I was still impressed. When you visit be sure to see the indoor displays as well.
Unfortunately, the display is temporarily on loan and may not be present after January 2011. Check it out on their website.
We can hardly wait to revisit the Garden! Perhaps another interesting sculptor will be on display soon.
