Lee Dickson's sculpture Proud to have one of the original 12 Giant Redwoods brought over to the UK in the 1850's, we were saddened when it succumbed to Honey Fungus (one of the few blights able to kill the Giant Redwood). To celebrate its life and place within the Botanic Gardens Bath Spa UK, we commissioned a local artist - Lee Dickson, a chainsaw sculptor from Radstock - to create a sculpture (pictured right) in May 2001. Standing about 7m high with a diameter of about m, it is sited near the top entrance to the Botanic Gardens, close to the Dovecote.
