The Wye Valley Sculpture Garden is in actual fact Gemma’s studio garden, a place where she can play and explore her creativity.
She has built and designed the whole garden herself.
Her art is very much a reflection of a life lived and loved living here in the beautiful Wye Valley.

You will be able to purchase or commission some of her sculptures and photography.

Accessibility and Disabled Access

We are so fortunate here to be nestled beautifully on the gentle slopes of the Lower Wye Valley.

It is therefore important to acknowledge that the whole garden is on a gradient.

We work tirelessly to make the garden as accessible as possible.

In the main part of the garden where many of the snowdrops can be viewed the pathways are as level as they can be and have a gravel or stone surface.
We put wood chip on the other paths to keep them passible and there are rails on the steeper sections. There are also plenty of places to sit on low walls and benches if you need to take it gently.

At the far side of the garden is the Snowdrop wood. This will require walking to as these areas are not really suitable for wheel chairs. We work to keep wood chippings on these paths but they can still get muddy and slippery in places at that time of the year.

If you have mobility issues or use a wheel chair and or a mobility scooter (well powered ones) and have decided that the garden will be suitable for you to visit then when you arrive please notify the parking attendant who can direct you towards a suitable parking place where you can gain the best access.

Unfortunately, the garden does not yet have a wheelchair friendly toilet due to space constraints in our studio.

We work constantly to improve paths so in time we hope that to be fully inclusive.

Parking is free.
Snowdrop Open days can get very busy.
We will have parking attendants directing you to a parking place.

This maybe a few minutes walk from the entrance.

Unfortunately we do not have space to accommodate large LWB vans.

Coaches will be able to drop off further down the drive and visitors will have about 5 minutes to walk to the garden entrance. Coach with then need to turn around and then park off site in a nearby layby. All details will be given.

WEATHER is always fun and games in February.
We will do all that we can to be open and honour our Open days but of course in the event of high winds or particularly inclement weather we will close to ensure every bodies safety.

We do everything we can to make the garden accessible and we spend a lot of time wood chipping the paths.

Please wear appropriate clothing and especially sturdy foot wear.

We will always keep the website and the Facebook page up to date so please check before setting out.

We know that this will upset some of you however sadly we are NOT able to have dogs in the garden when we are exhibiting other peoples work because our insurance will not cover it.

Thank you for your understanding.

There are two toilets, please note that they do not accommodate wheel chairs.

Children are welcome to this event on the public days.
We wish to make this a fully inclusive event however -

For their own safety, ensure that your children are with you at all times.
-Sculptures must not be touched or climbed on and any damage will have to be paid for.
-Be mindful that there will be hot braziers burning.
-There is deep water in the garden.

(Adults only in Pre- Booked groups).

Pushchairs - please see Accessibility and Disabled access.

It is February.

• It should go without saying, dress up warm, several layers are always better.

• Bring a waterproof jacket

• Wear sturdy footwear or wellies, we endeavour to keep the garden as passable as is possible but there will be mud in places.
