The Celtic Gardens

 -  What are Celtic Water Tableaux?

These are water tableaux (statues, installations and plants) with a Celtic reference. They have their own water source generated using renewable energy (mostly solar). They are not complete gardens, but will create focal points in our Celtic Landscape.

The Warrior's Tribute

Deposition (the depositing in sacred water of tributes to the gods) was perhaps the most important of Celtic religious rites. Warriors most frequently made deposition shortly before, or after battle. They either commissioned gold, or silver weaponry for immediate deposition, not use, or deposited the weaponry which had enabled them to win the battle.

This tableau will be placed behind our four courtyard treatment gardens, to the rear of the farmhouse.
