Sculpture Rooms


Four sculpture gardens – The Branching Room, The Stripe Room, The Spiral Room, and The Circle Room – are also part of the overall design of the Historic Garden at Shangri La. Linda Covit, a Canadian sculptor, designed a piece of sculpture for each of these rooms that demonstrates how nature is reflected in art and art is reflected in nature. Each of these “Sculpture Rooms” highlights natural forms, expressed by the plantings and reflected in the paving and artistic elements. Please click the links below to learn
