HGTV‘s new series THE OUTDOOR ROOM WITH JAMIE DURIE is “a docu-design series that chronicles sexy, globetrotting Australian landscape designer Jamie Durie as he moves to America to create awe-inspiring backyard makeovers for American families. Jamie’s designs are inspired from his travels” (quote from  show’s own Facebook page).

Charming and talented designer Jamie Durie came with camera crew and  two lovely homeowners to experience our garden gallery and select sculpture for his new HGTV series which premieres January 1, 2010 at 10:00 p.m.  We’re not sure which episode we’re in yet but we’ll post as soon as we find out.  Photos from the shoot to follow…

Two other exciting press items: The Los Angeles Times Home & Garden (print and online versions) ran a fabulous article about Terra Sculpture. Both articles highlighted the notion that from both a creative and environmental perspective there are very few elements in the landscape that are as effective and long lasting as outdoor sculpture. Once you place sculpture, all it requires is admiration (and an occasional wipe-down!)
