Description

The desinger, a retired art teacher, explains her sculpture:

"I live quite near Parade Gardens so for inspiration I looked down at the empty space where it will go.
I kept thinking of growth, I wanted something that was moving or reaching up and the bulb idea hit me.
I think it also represents the different layers associated with horticulture and looks to the future of Britain in Bloom."
