I designed this page to connect
sculptors at Brookgreen Gardens along with the sculptor, their
name, sculpture information, dates and a photo. This project has
been challenging and exciting. I believe this is the only free web
page with listings of over 200 sculptures
at Brookgreen Gardens, connecting the sculpture, the
sculptor, information and photos all on one web page. I am the
photographer for all of them.
I am always adding more sculptures. If
you're interested in a sculpture not listed here, please send me
the name, location or of whatever you remember, or perhaps you
have a Brookgreen story to tell. Contact me, Patricia
Blackstock. I would love to hear from you.
