Event information
Knowledgeable guide, Diane Harper leads two group tours into the private Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden.
The incredible garden features more than 60 sculptures constituting a comprehensive record of Lewis' artistic development thus far which have been carefully sited along 4 km of paths.
The garden is located between two worlds, one wild and one tamed, bordering the manicured suburbs of Stellenbosch and a rugged mountain wilderness where leopard still roam.
The influence of Japanese gardens and the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic is evident in the minimalist, sculptural design of the garden, its ellipses and curves, its sense of spirituality and acceptance of transience and imperfection.
Guests can follow the tour with a visit to the charming newly repurposed Old Storeroom, which serves home-baked cakes, and a selection of specialty teas, coffees and iced drinks.
