Have you  heard about the magnificent stone sculptures that are currently being showcased at Dovecote Porch & Gardens? If you haven’t seen them first hand, let me assure you they are not to be missed.

On Friday, September 4 from 5 to 7 pm. Artist Carl Peverall will speak about atmospheric stone sculpture, methods of construction and installation. It’s your chance to see these beautiful works of art in person and best of all, access to the creator himself.

Sometimes, all it takes is a couple of hostas, a collection of Japanese maples (the Laulettas have many!) and great natural stone work. Thanks to John Warren of Natural Landscapes who installed this beautiful garden 3 years ago. Note the 4″ tall step.
