grandiflora

I recently made the trip to the Botanic Gardens (which is always a treat) on a glorious Sunday to see the spanking new sculptures I am hearing so much about. New Zealand scupltor, Chris Booth, is responsible for the huge rolling sandstone sculpture which now cascades down lawns.

Chris built the design, leaving gaps among the blocks, so that rare and endangered species of Sydney will be able to call the magnificent construct, home.

The design, costing $4.5million is a gift to Sydney from the late Ronald Johnson and is accompanied by 16,000 threaded quartz stones. Sitting permanently side by side on the hill, they are just another reason to visit the gardens.
