Amazing Collection of Garden Art from Creative Artist

05.09.11 | Ilona Erwin | 6 Comments

I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like it. Yes, there are terra cotta Greenmen sold in many garden outlets, but this is the art form taken to its outer limits. An entire garden filled with the most enchanting terra cotta statues, placed within lovely vignettes that make you want to see more… no overload of jumbled things placed willy nilly. This is how I like to see garden art displayed. There is a sad note, however. Apparently a massive brushfire swept through the artists town and destroyed them. But the videos tell the beautiful story: Bruno Torfs, woodcarver Just the sculptures:

About Ilona Erwin

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.

    These are stunning pieces of art. I kept imagining how I would use one of Bruno’s pieces in my yard. I know jus the place. Thank you for sharing.

    That is truly incredible! I’m going to have to forward this on to my mom and bubbie! They are hugely into gardening. We get a lot of our foliage from an online marketplace. Check it out if you have a moment! http://www.flowershopping.com/

    This is one of my FAVORITE artists. I can’t begin to imagine being that talented. I visit his garden (via internet) often.
