Bullrushes is one of our most popular garden sculpture, and a great choice for siting near water. It brings both colour and movement, as the steel 'stalks' are slightly springy, and the rushes will bob and sway naturally in the wind. The fluorescent yellow bullrush 'heads' catch the light in such a way that they appear to be lit from the inside. Some assembly is required.
A mesmerising garden sculpture, Double Helix turns slowly in the wind, creating a twisting, vortex-like visual effect. The edges of the fluorescent orange 'paddles' catch the sun as it spins, accentuating the movement. Some assembly required. Click here to view sculpture turning.
FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION There are three basic elements needed to set up a freestanding water feature: a reservoir to contain the water and on which the feature stands, a pump, and a length of hose. The pump sits in the water inside the reservoir, with a hose attached which carries the water up inside the fountain. The reservoir is usually buried so the top is just level with the ground, or it can stand above ground and be disguised with a surround of some kind.
The installation kit includes:- A heavy duty plastic reservoir, designed to take the weight of our stone water features. With a 100cm diameter it is large enough to catch all water splash, and comes with a removeable section for easy access to the pump. - A quality pump with 10m of cable- A length of hose (which we preinstall in your water feature)- A water treatment product for regular use to keep the water free of algae
The pump can be connected to an outside socket, which must be professionally installed and have a circuit breaker. If connecting the pump to an indoor power point, a plug-in RCD adaptor must be used (available from DIY stores at about £10)

Imagine looking out on a tranquil pastoral scene of sheep grazing on the lawn...
Our sheep garden sculpture is an ingenious 3D design comissioned from artist John Clive. It is a little larger than life size, standing at 90cm tall, and is bound to raise a smile. No feeding or shearing is required, but unfortunately you will still have to mow the lawn!
It is constructed from thick acrylic sheet, laser-cut to slot together accurately and create a solid, rigid shape. Assembly is straighforward, and once put together it can be moved as one piece.
The Grazing Sheep is covered by IOTA's guarantee.
A set of four abstract figures in glorious vibrant colours, they work together as a family or as individual figures spread out in the garden. A group piece commissioned by IOTA from artist John Clive, their brilliant colours work equally well in a green setting as surrounded by hard landscaping. This piece of garden art is fabulous in the sunshine, with the graphic shapes of the figures outlined against the sky.
The figures are laser-cut from thick acrylic sheet, and slot into coated steel supports which are secured to the ground by steel stakes. If cleaning is required we recommend just soapy water and then a polish with a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided. All garden sculpture is covered by IOTA's guarantee.

Self-Watering Reservoir
If you find daily watering a chore, this is a must. Using a water reservoir is a great way to make sure your plants have the right amount of water to thrive – even when you go away on holiday!
The reservoir is placed in the pot before the plant goes in, and is filled with water through the tube. Water is taken up into the compost and the roots by capillary action. The reservoir will hold enough water to keep your plants happy for at least 3 weeks, and you can tell when it needs refilling by an indicator float in the tube.
Using a reservoir also prevents water staining on hard landscaping and excess water runoff, and it is ideal for use in planters indoors.
