Affordable modern Garden Sculpture

Posted on August 25th, 2009

We have just received the latest additions to our range of Garden Sculpture. The latest is a series of attractive and very affordable medium sized garden art pieces (approx 900mm high) and made from cast iron, hence the aged ‘weathered’ rust look. The forms are all essentially modern themes and feature popular images that should appeal to a wide range of garden lovers and styles. All pieces are expected to retail for less than € 250.00 and will be available to view and to order from our GARDENSTUDIO showrooms in Terenure.

Here are some sample photos to illustrate some of the details, I will post some photos later showing each piece in a garden setting as well as more details on each piece.

Design for Gardens at GARDENSTUDIO

Posted on June 8th, 2009

An update on the terrific graphic design work which is being done by  BAMMEDIA on our behalf. A big thanks to Bridget who is doing super work on defining our design identity and ethos for our GARDENSTUDIO and I’m sure you will agree, the graphics for Point of Sale Display panels featuring a selection of our Garden products many with Unique Styles is simply inspiring.

We had a fantastic response to our products at BLOOM 2009 and I look forward to welcoming many visitors to our new GARDENSTUDIO showrooms in Terenure.

We can also offer flexible visit times, eg, outside normal office hours as well as Saturdays. 

Our GARDENSTUDIO features an exciting range of unique and exciting well designed garden products including Water Features, Victorian Summerhouses, leisure Garden Furniture, Deroma Planters, handcast Bronze Garden Sculpture etc, several of which were exhibited with great success at BLOOM 2009.

BLOOM 2009 – a blooming success

Posted on June 1st, 2009

This years’ event the third in succession is certain to exceed all expectations. The weather has been magnificent and the paying public have come in droves. On Sunday alone the attendance figures were in excess of 18,000 and by the end of the show on Monday in excess of 60,00 visitors will have attended. 

As one of many particpating exhibitors, BLOOM 2009 has proved to have been an enormously successful event, and visitor interest in garden products contrasting starkly to some pre-event concerns that the current economic conditions and recessionary fears would have a significant dampening effect. Not so, the level of interest and purchases made by visitors at BLOOM 2009 was simply overwhelming and dispelled any evidence of recession.

We featured a cross selection of products from our GARDENSTUDIO and all proving very popular. Not surprising, there was great interest in our Victorian Summerhouses, TITAN stainless steel water features and of course our range of ORB Swing seats.

From the moment doors opened at 10.00am right throughout the day to closing time at 6.00pm, there was a consistent heavy traffic of visitors to our stand effectively resulting in opportunities for any break to be few and far. This has been very much the case since the show started last Thursday! Monday is the final day it will no doubt be as busy as previous days and one could be confident that it might in fact be the busiest of all days.

Although the fine almost Mediterranean type weather has been a contributory factor in the success of this years’ event, there is no doubt that the organisers and exhibitors have also made great efforts to make this year’s show better than ever. Ultimately great thanks and acknowledgement must be made to the paying public who once again  demonstrated clearly in their tens of thousands that under the right circumstances taht there is considerable demand and interest in gardening and that over the last few days at least there was little evidence of any recessionary gloom.

Here are some photos of our product exhibits taken just before show opened on Sunday. I would also like to congratulate Eddie O’Brien, the Entrepeneur and inventor of  The Hangout Gazebo Clothesline (as featured on RTE’s Dragons Den) who co-exhibited on our stand with great success. The Hangout is an outstanding example of Irish enterprise and innovation and was hugely popular with visitors to BLOOM 2009.  Not surprising when you consider some of the Hangout’s product attributes including energy and cost savings, environmental friendly, multifunctional all weather clothesline which is also a useful garden centrepiece and ideal for a variety of garden entertainment activities. Congratulations and well done again Eddie who is seen demonstrating hanging clothes using the Hangout.

Bronze Garden Sculpture

Posted on April 12th, 2009

I would like to provide some sneak preview of the latest product additions which will feature shortly in our soon to open Garden Studio. The featured pieces are simply exquisite examples of  the fine art of classical bronze garden sculpture. Ideal for use in large or small gardens, each piece is intended as a celebration of art and form and in doing so bring another dimension and unique ambience to the outdoor space. The sculpture is ideal for use in a number of ways including near water features, as a focal point at or near the end of a pathway, or as a discreet icon in a recessed or hidden garden area etc. Each piece  is distinctly expressive and offers a unique ambiance for any garden. The art and joy of movement is clearly evident from each form and in celebrating the grace and joy of movement, a sense of constant vitality is also experienced. 

The approx height and weight details range from 139cm -142 cm and 15.6kg-18.6kg respectively. Prices: P.O.A.
