In this issue Sandra Batley continues her series about her landscape and garden tour in Europe and the UK. We have also had significant interest in the sculpture galleries on our website and look forward to responding by increasing the number of sculptors contributing in the months to come. Many of you will have noticed the Lighting Pacific solutions pages and case studies on our website. With the strong interest in sculpture and sculptural effects in the landscape I have included a link to the Lighting Garden Sculpture case study in this issue. These case studies are a great way to explore changing the moods and effects that can be achieved using good design principals.

 

In the last issue I mentioned we are planning with a strong angle on an outdoor living retreat at Ellerslie International Flower Show, with planning being the operative word, it has evolved in to more of a party space with places to retreat... in fact its going to have a pretty big building on it! space for cooking, very cool furniture designed and made in New Zealand, new plant releases, sculpture, art by Dick Frizzell and a whole lot more. Next week you will have a chance to win Diamond club Tickets.
