Rock Island...complete!

The “Rock Island” sculpture is a scenic arboretum, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, and a 12" koi pond surrounding the garden. At the apex of the garden is a common area with goldfish pond and fountain cascading into the koi pond. The goldfish pond contains 43 goldfish, and the koi pond has 53 koi. A wide variety of plants and trees are spread all around the rocks and on the flats, with a rock bench overlooking the falls. An arbor with clematis arches over the bench, and a 'foot' bridge, (cast foot prints on piers) crosses the koi pond.

“Rock Island” is created in the 1/24th scale, (1/2 inch = 1 foot).
