It offers around 50 affordable artworks by established and up-and-coming artists inspired by both flora and fauna. The exhibition has been sponsored by 1st Central Insurance.

Spokesman Andrew Loin said: “In addition to an enticing selection of garden sculptures in metal, bronze resin and stained glass, the exhibition will also include a number of batik, ceramic and smaller works displayed within the Garden Shop and Green Tree Gallery. Uniting the work is their common fascination with the beauty of nature, the countryside and the feelings they evoke within us.

“Pieces will include The Dream by Christine Baxter, a figurative work whose subject is lost in contemplation – to works inspired by the plants and flowers found within the garden, such as Chris Kampf’s metallic Rudbeckia Stems and Shuttlecock Ferns, Joe Szabo’s beautiful stained glass Iris Trio, and Rosi Robinson’s batik painting Floating Leaves. There are also works that celebrate the native wildlife found within the Garden and Parkland including owls, pheasants and hares.

“The exhibition runs daily until September 30 with admission included in the standard entry price. An exhibition map is given out on arrival with all pieces available to purchase.

“Music lovers, on selected Sundays in August and September between 1 and 3pm, can enjoy live music on the South Lawn, providing plenty of space for social distancing.

“You can enjoy the toe-tapping rhythms of Brazil and Cuba with the Quinto Latin Trio on August 16 and vintage jazz trio Three Penny Piece on August 30, reviving old-time favourites from the 1930s, 40s and 50s.”
