SCULPTURE WALK

The Green Island walking trail makes a mile-long series of loops through 30 acres of young pine plantation. A portion of the trail is enhanced with large and small sculptures by area artists creating a unique outdoor gallery. All artwork is labeled and available for sale and usually sized to be easily placed in a car and taken home.

Most of this garden art is made from durable metals ( copper, bronze, aluminum, or steel) and tends toward abstractions of plants and animals. Prices are as low as $10.00 for very small production pieces and range upward to $7,000 or more for the very large steel installations..

The sculpture walk is open to visitors without charge, or obligation, from June through October during daylight hours. No call is required. There is a designated parking area, and simple maps are available. Locals regularly use the trail for walking or for dog exercise, so look for the other parked cars or follow the “parking” signs

Art is a part of the overall GREEN ISLAND purpose and income mix. This goes back 25 years when the earliest work was sold nationally, under the name of Paradise Toys, to gift shops and museum shops. There may still be Rockinghorse Flies sitting on hundreds of mantles and bookcases across the country. Later on our Scandinavian-style wooden spoons were popularized by FOOD AND WINE and BON APPETIT magazines and finally HOUSE AND GARDEN recommended the Blue Fjord Horse as a holiday gift.

Today, the focus is on garden art and sculptural pieces which are displayed here to enrich our own environment... yet they can be easily purchased and carried home by interested visitors.
