An important show-case for Westcountry artists & designers

The 2009 Mythic Garden Sculpture Exhibition has now closed, although some sculptures remain in the garden throughout the winter. This was our 17th exhibition and as usual we had a very diverse selection of over 100 sculptures by a large group of west country artists and designers.

 The exhibition is held in our five-acre woodland & water garden in the Dartmoor National Park, displaying National Collections of Birch and Alder trees. We have held summer sculpture exhibitions at the Mythic Garden annually since l992. During these years the trees have matured to create tall copses and secretive sculpture sites. The National Collections of Birch and Alder that we hold here provide a unifying aspect to the very varied work we display. The land slopes and twists interestingly to allow individual sculptures their own frames and to prevent the visual disturbance of seeing several pieces at once.

We have stone sculptures in materials such as Limestone, Granite and Sandstone. There are a range of metal sculptures in Copper, Steel  and Wire. Carved wooden pieces, stoneware, bronze resin and glass. A wide range of media representing a broad range of styles and tastes, which we are sure will appeal.

Disabled Access
The Garden is set on a sloping site, with a level, stony drive leading into the top half of the arboretum; which consists of groupings of trees with grass areas between. This area slopes downhill to the second half of the garden;  which is accessed by narrow paths, some soft, some stone paths and various sets of steps. We only have a standard toilet, but it is at ground level. During the low season all visitors can park in our farmyard immediately by the entrance.

The above information is intended to be informative to those who feel they may have difficulty negotiating the garden. We do not advertise as being suitable for people with walking difficulties, but will make every effort to assist and help you enjoy your visit.
