There are some special sculptural elements which have pride of place in parts of the garden. The one above is a terra-cotta creation by local artist Jill Guilleman. It is a wonderfully rustic rendition of a local historic landmark - the old butcher's slaughterhouse in Kaukapakapa (see below).
I have placed the 'birdhouse' on a gnarly old Totara fencepost (still with rusty barbed wire attached) to emphasise its rural character and origins.
Kaukapakapa is one of the earliest settlements on the Kaipara, and it is really special to remember that history in the garden and create an interesting focal point.
