"Garten Traume," German magazine showcasing inspirational gardens from around the world, features Old Bladbean Stud Garden, in Bladbean, Canterbury, UK, with Zenos' sculpture of the Irish Wolfhound "Lamby."

"The statue is mounted on the spot where she used to sit for hours watching rabbits, poised and ready to charge off down the lawn sending them scattering in all directions at the sound of the bell on her collar."

"If you stand at one end of the mirrored borders and walk across the lawn while looking down its length, the whole garden appears to swing around you in an optical illusion generated by the lines of perspective marked out by yew trees and obelisks."

"The colour scheme is a further development of the use of a wide variety of flower forms in different shades of the same colour...Bearded irises, clematis and delphiniums define the journey along the length of the beds, starting at the far ends in shades of palest blue and white, and then darkening in colour through sky blue to midnight blue at the centrepoint behind the wooden benches."
-Carol Bruce 

"The rose garden is a melting pot of every romantic floral birthday card and jigsaw puzzle image from my childhood, animated into a real place on the ground that can be walked through and scrutinized from every angle without turning out to be the illusion of trick photography!"
- Carol Bruce

"The gardens are my attempt to catch and hold the magic at the boundary between life and art, between reality and imagination, and between instinct and intellect."
