Maximum quantity available reached.

Six couplets taken from verse of Rudyard Kiping's poem 'The Glory of the Garden'. Originally designed in 2022 for the National Trust as part of poetry trail series for Rudyard Kipling's home Batemans, managed by the National Trust.

Our England is a garden that is full of stately views,

Of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues,


With statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by;

But the Glory of the Garden lies in more than meets the eye.

For where the old thick laurels grow, along the thin red wall,

You find the tool and potting sheds which are the heart of all;


The cold frames and the hot houses, the dung pits and the tanks,

The rollers, carts and drain pipes, with the barrows and the planks.

Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made

By singing: - "Oh, how beautiful!" And sitting in the shade

And when your back stops aching and your hands begin to harden,
You will find yourself a partner in the Glory of the Garden.

These look fantastic in a small garden as part of a border and in readiness for Spring. Why not have the complete set of five verses to create your own trail? The shadow thrown by the poem adds an extra dimension if close to a vertical surface like a wall or fence. 

Available in two options: mild steel to rust and also stainless steel powder coated in green RAL6028.

Suitable for outdoor setting.

All dimensions approximate.

Sizes: All approximately 42cm high. Length varies from 83 to 99 cm.

Materials: 3mm mild steel and stainless steel.
