I’m trying to romanticize my life a little more each day.

The Garden of Fine Art was gorgeous

We finally had a nice, warm spring day so I had to go out and enjoy it

The admission was only ¥100, and surprisingly not many people were there. It was the perfect place to relax, take photos, and get in a few chapters of Love, Theoretically

It was a slow Saturday. One of the best kinds of days

Gallery: Garden of Fine Art

Location: Kitayama, Kyoto

Outdoor Gallery of flowers at the Curve Garden

If you’ve visited the Garden recently or even just passed by on Dalston Lane, you will have spotted our new ‘outdoor gallery’ mounted on the wall just outside our entrance, opposite Hackney Peace Carnival Mural.

We are delighted to have been awarded a grant from the ‘Hackney High Streets Fund’ which means that this year, through our ‘High Street Garden’ project, we will be able to share a little glimpse of the Garden, through a changing display of images. One of the aims of the project is to introduce passersby, who may not have previously visited the Garden, to the plants and community life that lie beyond our fence and to spread the word about supporting biodiversity. 

The first of our seasonal galleries puts the focus on ‘Flowers from Dalston Curve Garden’. Over many years we have been blessed to have a number of brilliant photographers recording the plants here and we now have an amazing photographic archive. One of these photographers, Erola Arcalis describes what recording the plants here means to her:

“I first photographed the Curve Garden nine years ago. The Garden has taught me how to look at plants and which ones to look out for each season. Even though the planting has changed and the trees have grown over time, I know the Garden's colours and textures almost by heart. The red spires of the Pineapple Sage and the delicate blue petals of the Crocus in winter; the tiny white Snowdrops announcing the beginning of Spring together with  Lilacs and Alliums; the lively coloured Hollyhocks in Summer; and the ocre leaves of the Silver Birches during the pumpkin season”.

It was such a challenge for us to make a selection of just 12 pictures from our archive, but here’s what we finally chose for display.

Tulip clusiana ‘Cynthia’ and Muscari latifolium Photographer: Sandra Keating

Crocus tomasanianus ‘Ruby Giant’ Tulip ‘Amazing Parrot’   Photographer: Alex Bogdan

Tulip bakerii “Lilac Beauty’ Photographer: Alex Bogdan

Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ Photographer: Sandra Keating  

Photographer Alex Bogdan says: “Every one of the flowers in these photographs has been planted and cared for by dedicated volunteers. I feel very privileged to be able to capture the beauty that they've created through so much hard work.

When you walk into the Curve Garden you're met with an explosion of colour from thousands of flowers. But when you get closer, you see that every flower has its unique personality and beauty. Tulip ‘Angelique’ have a sort of very delicate but distant elegance, like they belong in an old Dutch masters painting and ‘Amazing Parrot’, with their feathery petals remind me of flamenco dresses. They're some of the most showy tulips, the star of the show. The little Tulip bakerii “Lilac Beauty” are some of the friendliest, genuinely happy to be where they are. For me they're some of the more difficult to photograph in a way that truly captures their joyfulness.

Leucojum ‘Gravetye Giant” (Snowflakes) are some of my favourites. They flower for the longest time. It can be easy to overlook them as they seem to be always there, carrying the Garden through the cold days of early Spring until April when other spring bulbs are ready to burst into colour. But their flowers have the most intricate and delicate design. They're beautiful!”

And the final word goes to photographer Sandra Keating: “This is more than just an exhibition of beautiful flowers on a busy street in Dalston. It’s the people and the place behind these flowers that make it such a special exhibition to be part of. I’ve been incredibly lucky to work as an “in-house" garden photographer for so many years. Photographing plants in this vital green space along with other amazing photographers has quite literally been a dream come true.”

Thanks to Erola, Alex and Sandra for their beautiful botanical record, to our team of staff and volunteers for helping install the ‘Outdoor Gallery’, to www.coloursonic.co.uk for their beautiful prints and to www.futurehackney.com for advising us on printing for outdoor display.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Gigantic Shin Godzilla to take pictures of. The latest round of Shin-Mania is upon us, thanks to the latest Gigantic reissue by X-Plus (I did preorder this time!). However, I do have the Sakai Shin Godzilla, which I still love.
