Dutch Gardens
Technology moves on and the Metamorphoses are now printed by Vandijkenglas on glass to become a new form of garden architecture. 
The brainchild of garden architect Lars Verziljlenberg. Patrick steps out into this new field with Daphne; Ovid would surely approve.
The three 2 metre tall glass prints are beautifully set off by bare coffee tree branches. A Dutch water garden is the perfect setting for the nymph Daphne.
