Welcome to Worrall Hood Art & Gardens

 

Garden designer Nick Hood and Sculptress Julieann Worrall Hood live in

the Vale of Pewsey in Wiltshire with their three children and two Jack

Russells.

 

 

" Passion, energy and nature seem to be the hallmarks of the work of

Nick Hood and Julieann Worrall Hood: the bounding force of the hares,

scooping up the landscape, the swirling energy of the mosaics and tapestries,

 the exuberant, extravagant planting, breaking out of rigid formality, the

organic development of both."
