Mythic Realm
Author: Meg McConahey Source: The Press Democrat (CA)
Title: GARDEN'S MANY ANCIENT-LOOKING SCULPTURES AMUSE AND ENCHANT VISITORS
The first thing you see when you enter the enchanted world of Peter and Robyn Crompton is the gigantic head of Athena, regarding the street through empty eyes.
Penetrate further into the shady greenery beyond and you feel as if you’ve walked through C.S. Lewis’ wardrobe into a mythical realm.
Sculpted heads hide within the shrubbery as if fallen from their pedestals and a pair of elaborately mosaiced fish coil as one within a labyrinth of spent iris, lamb’s ear and sage.
It has the look of timeworn abandonment — the remains of a garden that once upon a time was manicured into classical perfection. But this appearance of neglect is all by careful design.
The Cromptons are both artists; he does large sculptures, she creates elaborate mosaics using everything from pottery shards to the bottoms of wine bottles to shells and other found objects.

Thanks to whoever contributed this. People are troublesome, but the green earth is good. These happen to be interesting, talented people that have taken special care to restore and wildly, creatively elaborate upon a much older garden. There's a garden tour' slideshow at cromptondesign.com.
