The RHS Harlow Carr Garden is a beautiful colourful place with many different examples of plants suitable for different conditions experienced throughout Britain. One of my favourite areas is beside a little pond where dragon flies were darting around. Extra There are different types of sculptures from natural wood to metal ones that move with the wind but four very unusual ones are made of fibreglass.
The four and a half metres tall fibreglass heads are three-dimensional interpretations of Renaissance paintings created by Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo in the late 16th-century.
The exquisitely detailed pieces imagine spring, summer, autumn and winter in human form, rendered in exuberant and thought-provoking arrangements of seasonal fruit, vegetables, flowers and crops.
“The locations of the Four Seasons have been carefully chosen. Summer is surrounded by meadow flowers, while Winter echoes the mature trees around the sculpture. Autumn will be a talking point as fruit and vegetables in our Kitchen Garden mature and Spring will see new foliage emerge.”
