This sight (created by artist Rachel Carter) greets you on the lawn in front of what was once the Orangery in the gardens of Charlcote Park - right near the house itself.
Part of the sign nearby reads:
'Willow Alliums - The cedar lawn in front of the Orangery provides the perfect blend of wilderness and order from the beautifully maintained flower beds to the wild nature of the cedar trees, it was this that inspired Rachel to install the latest sculpture which was this years RHS Chelsea showcase.
Fifty Four individually woven spheres of willow are transfomed into a sweeping installation across the lawn.'
The sign also explains how they were made:
'Willow rods are entwined and woven onto a welded mild steel frame, which creates a structural skeleton for the sculpture. Using traditional methods of metal work and weaving to marry these two materials together creates endless possibilities for style, shape and use.
The metal frame will slowly change colour as it is weathered by the elements to blend seamlessly with the woven willow, which is preserved in the traditional manner with Boiled Linseed Oil.'
