RHS Rosemoor has its annual sculpture exhibition on. Here is one that struck my eye – Mother by Brendan Murless:

The full figure also has a small child hanging onto its skirts at the back. I was fascinated by the texture which, as I guessed and according to the artist’s website, was originally carved from wood before being cast in a bronze resin.

There are plenty of sculptures worth seeing alongside all the regular plants, adding extra value to a trip to the Rosemoor gardens.
