Recycled Metal Sculptures

 Last week's post was originally intended to be about the sculptures at Daley's Fruit Nursery, Kyogle. For better context, I changed my mind, thinking it best to write about the planting of the trees first, 

It was such a delightful surprise to see these sculptures as we drove into the nursery to buy our jacaranda, flame and silky oak trees, to be planted by Grandad's grandchildren at the 70th birthday celebration.

The Nursery hosts the sculptures and workrooms of Dave Thamms. His handmade and recycled metal garden pieces are captivating. His creations have incredible detail and need to be looked at closely to fully enjoy. He is such a multi-talented artist, a painter and sculptor with horticultural expertise.

I will let the images show his amazing creativity.
