Topiary Art

Topiary is the art of training living trees and shrubs into artificial, decorative shapes. The earliest topiary was probably the simple development of edgings, cones, columns, and spires to accent a garden scene. The fashion reached its height in Britain in the late 17th and early 18th century but was displaced by the so-called natural garden.

Topiary Sculptures artist Steve Manning makes custom and bespoke garden landscape feature topiaries and stainless steel topiary frames for gardens designers, landscapers, theme parks, civic amenities, exhibitions, and garden shows.
