It showcased the work of established and new artists taking interesting directions with exciting new work. The organising committee was delighted with the response and enthusiasm by artists who invested their time and energy since the site meeting in March, to the siting of the completed works in August. The gardens are not only a botanical haven, and a quiet oasis on the outskirts of a modern European City, they also provide a challenging venue which gives the artist the rare opportunity of realising large scale work. It also gives the public the opportunity to ramble and explore, sometimes finding sculptures in the most unusual places.  Over 120 sculptures were displayed throughout the gardens, ponds, Great Palm House, and Curvilinear Range, with the smaller works exhibited in the gallery above the visitors’ centre.  Ana Duncan Rupture Stoneware 34 x 25 x 21cm Receipients of the 2011 Awards Mike Duhan was awarded the Mill Cove Galleries Award for "Master and Muse" CAST Ltd Award for a work of distinction in any medium was awarded to Ruth Power for "Cephalophilia" Gallery Zozimus Award for best Ceramic Sculpture was awarded to Maureen Finn for "Tree Dwellers" 3 Sculpture in Context Awards for large outdoor works of distinction in any medium were awarded to: Lewis Goodman for "Big Money " Ayelet Lalor for "Chryseus" Elizabeth Petcu for "Ghost Fruit " The award for the Most Popular Sculpture voted by the public was won by John Dunn for "The Gardener " Heather Wilson Beneath the surface Stainless Steel, Concrete 100 x 225 x 45 approx.
