In 2011,
Kiwi Gardens launched the first
installment of the Kiwi Sculpture Gardens, a showcase for works of
art which embellish outdoor living spaces.

Through the months of July and August, last
season's project displayed the works of sixteen diverse Canadian talents. With
pieces ranging from the serious to the whimsical, Kiwi Sculpture Gardens
welcomed artists working in a variety of mediums, scales, and styles.

With display space throughout the 10-acre gardens and retail nursery, Kiwi
offered an ideal exhibition environment. Shaded woods, landscaped gardens, and
stone wall platforms were carefully selected to complement the characteristics
of each piece of art.

Visitors to Kiwi were invited to tour the nursery and gardens, and to interact
with the sculptures in a natural, outdoor setting. Bringing the works of
several artists together into one summer-long event, Kiwi Sculpture Gardens
transformed Kiwi's already spectacular grounds into a unique outdoor gallery
experience.

Kiwi Sculpture Gardens! The Kiwi Sculpture Gardens are available for
viewing free of charge, during our regular nursery hours of 9am - 5pm daily.
