Sundials and Armillary Spheres
21st September 2024 | News
Sundials were used to tell the time in the days before clocks and watches. Nowadays they make lovely garden decorations.
Like a sundial, an armillary sphere is an ancient way of monitoring the movement of celestial objects. An armillary typically has the earth at the centre with hoops and bands around it representing the cycles of the heavens. They are ideal as a focal point in the garden and suited to both formal and natural planting schemes.
