In addition to a lot of plants arriving for spring, Savage always has a generous supply of cool garden art.
This solitary giant rusty sphere in the center of the covered patio always elicits a giggle.
Hey look, an agave!
What a fun gate!
Striking poppy seed head bronze candlesticks.
These look so cool and have no drain holes. Water feature? Bog garden?
Not exactly sure what these are.
This fellow, made by an area artist and admired last year finally decided to come home with me. You may remember him from an earlier IaVoM post.
It's Holy week in the Christian tradition, seven days that begin with Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday) the last supper, crucifixion, and resurrection. Whew, that's one busy week. If you celebrate this week, may it be a reflective, joyful, and meaningful time for you.
Passover, the commemoration of God's deliverance of the Children of Israel from slavery in Egypt, begins tonight at sunset. For those of you celebrating Passover, חג פסח שמח.
The outdoor area looks a little bare (of plants), is that normal? A reflection of the season?
ReplyDeleteMarty keeps telling me he wants to learn to weld, but I know things would just get even crazier around here. Big spaces like this nursery are required to act as a showcase. Happy Easter, Peter!
ReplyDeleteThey always have the most interesting metal art. I love that purple bench, although it doesn't really look comfortable. Hoppy Easter!
ReplyDeleteA nursery with the name "Savage Plants"? Who could resist! Happy Easter, Peter!
ReplyDeleteSo what did you end up naming your little friend? He does look a bit like the BFG or Dobby. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis place looks like lots of fun. Some unique stuff. I hope the Easter bunny brings you a new ornament or plant and he doesn't eat your plants. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of Savage Plants, so i just Googled it's location. We hope to get to Heronswood in June and will have to check it out. they have cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you! As a pagan, I celebrate spring.
Oh that guy needs some great 'hair'! You'll have fun with that! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't buy the rusty sphere, but I actually would buy this blue or purple bench. It's so graceful.
ReplyDeleteYou do keep us entertained with the places you visit.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the art at that place. The gate is awesome. I'm trying to add more "earthy" art pieces to the garden--pieces that I can take with me if/when we finally move (one of these years). Seasons' blessings to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteFun place. I kind of like the rusty sphere, plus the face with feet planter.
ReplyDeleteSo LOVE those poppy seed candle holders!
