Unique Dragon Sculptures Move Into Garden Centre

Written by on 26th July 2024

A giant dragon made completely from recycled metals has taken up residence at a garden centre near Market Harborough.

The unique 17-foot long sculpture – which weighs nearly two tons – was created from items that would have ended up in landfill, including nuts, bolts, oil drums and bicycle chains.

A smaller dragon has also been produced and both now have pride of place at The Plant Man in Braybrooke.

Both dragons were made in a village Zimbabwe over a six months period,  through a project run by Travellers Finds, based in the Cotswolds.

A competition is now running for children to come up with names for them.

Steve Colledge runs the nursery with his brother Ian and spoke to HFM’s Moley about the project:
