Nestled next to the main entrance to the church is a charming chapel garden.  As if blown from some enormous tee, a mythical large nest has landed within the garden.  The sculpted nest contrasts wildly with the diminutive oasis with in which it has dropped.  

The festival’s theme this year has to do with environmental consciousness or “green” living.  In keeping with this theme, our sculpture is made nearly entirely of materials recycled from previous commercial events.  Lest we become too, too serious, nestled in the garden in a holly tree is flying a floral bluebird with a bad case of nest envy.
