About Go Wild

Please note:

The Go Wild Festival ran at Kew and Wakehurst place for the summer of 2003. As such many of the festival features can no longer be seen in the gardens, but this website has been kept to give visitors access to wealth of information developed to support the festival.

Don't forget to check out the latest events in the gardens. Find out more......

Weaving biodiversity and sustainability into our lives

On throughout the festival, at Wakehurst Place

Artists, Stephanie Bunn and Jon Warnes, will create three colourful willow sculptures, which will form an interpretative trail around the gardens at Wakehurst Place this summer. Each installation will help to interpret specific areas of work including garden compost production and wetland habitat management.

Willow sculpture

The style of installations range from a 50ft long willow wall incorporating an intricate design to an artistic take on a charcoal burners hovel. The sculptures are designed to weather with the seasons and will, over time, return to the soil, emphasising the circle of life.
