Another feature of the Wonderland garden where the little fountain I posted earlier is - the two and a half metre bronze Wonderland statue designed by Thomas J Clapperton. It was inspired by the Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens, London. Clapperton dressed the figures in modern dress to represent all children. It was presented and dedicated to the children of the town by the Mayor Robert Milligan in 1927.
Thank you for looking :)

Very nice view with statue surrounded by the flowering plants and the rest beyond. Looks like a nice place to relax. Only one benc? Must hurry before you know who gets there.

A lovely scene in the garden Lyn. The flowers are so colorful and the statue in bronze is beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

A great sculpture which captures the attention within the circular floral display.
