Paradise City invites our exhibiting artists to be extra creative when they submit large-scale outdoor works for the permanently landscaped Sculpture Garden. From a twenty-foot-tall 'Robot' to bronze 'Dancing Pigs', you'll see works that inspire, delight and amaze you! Each season brings a fresh installation to the Sculpture Garden and Courtyard.

Use these imaginative installations as a guide to thinking about the hardscape and furnishings of your own gardens. Just as evergreen shrubs and trees, stone walls and raised terraces add architectural interest to a landscape, so arbors, gazebos, sculpture, fountains and furniture bring dimension, distinction and imagination to your site. It's almost like composing a painting; once the backbone, or structure, of your landscape is in place, adding color and texture becomes much easier!

From unique outdoor seating to large-scale sculpture, Paradise City's expansive Sculpture Garden and Courtyard is a wellspring of fantastic ideas for your home landscape. At Paradise City, where one takes pleasure in the unexpected, a multitude of innovative garden-related ideas await. Sit on a handmade bench, sip a glass of wine and decide which piece of artwork in the Paradise City Sculpture Garden will find a new home in your own backyard!
