Ku-ring-gai’s Sculpture Trail celebrated sustainable Art in the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden this year. The trail showcased the skill and imagination of both renowned artists and emerging talent from across the region. Sculptures were displayed outdoors throughout the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden in St Ives for a month from 2nd September to 2nd October 2023.

We attended the trail and enjoyed walking around the different trails within the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden.

Across two little tracks (Visitors Centre and Senses Track and Caley's to Banks Track) it’s an easy walk and explore. It shines a light on our impact on nature and gives us thought on keeping our earth natural and free from plastic waste in natural areas and oceans.
