The garden of Levens Hall in Cumbria has some of the most elaborate examples of topiary in the UK. 'The Judges Wig' and the topiary archway shown here are two examples of the eccentric shapes that can be found. Garden's are a major theme in the work of Karl Torok, and he has also collaborated with other 'garden' artists, such as Ian Hamilton Finlay.
