. . . surprise and interest . . .

Sculptures at The Gardens provide an element of surprise and interest. Four permanent sculptures grace the grounds of The Hudson Gardens & Event Center.

. . . Dorothy & Friends (1998) . . .

Tucked in a small, grassy area outside of the Hudson Residence is sculptor Phyllis C. Beatties’ replica, in miniature, of Dorothy J. Vogt reading "The Land of Oz", accompanied by her lovely little dog. Dorothy & Friends was the first permanent sculpture at The Gardens.

. . . The Gift (2000) . . .

Designed by Boulder sculptor Susan Raymond, The Gift is a stunning depiction of a precious exchange. Graciously donated by Donor Alliance, the regional organ and tissue recovery organization, this memorial sculpture creates an enduring testimonial to donors and their families for their meritorious act. The Gift is nestled between pine trees in the Conifer Grove along a quiet walking path.

. . . Tar Baby (2000) . . .

This delightful Stephen LeBlanc sculpture is dedicated to the memory of Helen Koernig, a volunteer at The Hudson Gardens & Event Center and garden enthusiast. The memorial is a bronze representation of Helen's daughter Kate's beloved Shetland pony. Tar Baby is located on the east side of the main pool.

. . . Incoming (2001) . . .

Incoming, an amazing display of geese in flight by sculptor Stephen LeBlanc, is the newest permanent sculpture placed at The Gardens. This beautiful bronze is dedicated to the memory of Ed Warner and is located on the island at the south end of the main pool.
