willow giants

While strolling through the Wisley grounds, we also came upon a few of the 'willow giants' installed by artist Tom Hare last spring: a giant apple cut in half, a six-foot-high pear...

and just outside the Model Fruit and Vegetable Garden, a row of ten-foot-high inverted roots.

Both G and I thought the inverted roots looked like aliens, but then again, root veggies grown on the allotment often do!
