Art In The Garden & Water Conservation Weekend

Eye of the Day Garden Design Center will host a three-day event that includes a showcase for sculptor Bobbie Carlyle; a display of Verdure, a line of synthetic turf; and speakers on eco-friendly practices for the garden who will answer questions for professionals and homeowners.

Eye of the Day Garden Design Center is hosting an Art in the Garden and Water Conservation Weekend, Thursday-Saturday, March 19-21 in Carpinteria, Calif. The event will illustrate ways to add new life to homes and gardens,

Known for their inventory of beautiful and classic European and American pottery, Eye of the Day also carries an extensive collection of statuary. This includes pieces by internationally recognized sculptor Bobbie Carlyle, who will be sculpting a new piece over the course of the three-day event. Carlyle casts her pieces in bronze and executes strong and bold designs with subjects that range from figurative to liturgical, in sizes from maquette to monumental. Her work is displayed in both private and public collections: the most recognizable piece being Self Made Man"?ua figure carving himself out of stone. She recently installed a piece in Los Angeles called Seaswept at one of the entrances of the new Robert F. Kennedy Inspiration Park, the former site of the Ambassador Hotel.

Landscape services company Paysage Inc., founded by Thierry Fraye, has recently introduced Verdure, a line of artificial grass products that are durable, require low maintenance, and is a new option for homeowners and designers wanting to keep the look of a lawn but conserve water. Fraye and his team will be at the event to answer questions about the permanent display of synthetic turf that was recently installed at Eye of the Day.

The Art in the Garden & Water Conservation Weekend will feature additional speakers on eco-friendly practices for the garden and raffles for gift certificates and outdoor patio furniture.
