—About—

HISTORY
The Wye Valley Sculpture is the vision of artist Gemma Kate Wood which is an accumulation of a shared vision stretching over three generations.
The story reaches back to the 1950’s, to an organically run small-holding set up by her grandparents.
Inspired by their reverence for the natural world, her parents- who are both botanists and ecologists- have been collecting plants and growing this garden for over 40 years. 

We still hold true to that Organic, Sustainable vison.
In 2018 the Garden won a Sustainable Venue award.

SITE
The Garden sits nestled upon the ancient wooded slopes of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty providing an ever-changing backdrop of colour and texture throughout the season.
Today the garden is about 3 acres and is made up of formal lawns surrounded by abundant herbaceous borders, a pond, woodland areas, Snowdrop wood, an orchard and meadows which all provide a rich habitat for wildlife. 

“We are so privileged to live in such a special place”

TODAY - STUDIO GARDEN
Gemma, a growing nationally recognised artist, has made it her own studio garden with the addition of a series of Sculptures all inspired from this very landscape. 

Gemma invites people to share this place and welcomes creative events, celebrations and workshops.
We also love to provide beautiful food that can be arranged also.
 
The three key attractions: The Garden itself; the ongoing Snowdrop project that has recently come into its own and Gemma’s ongoing Art projects.
