On Thursday 17th June 2010, the cherries were loaded onto a lorry and transported to their final destination, Cherry Orchard housing scheme in Enniscorthy, Co Wexford.

In place, but final landscaping to be done. Thanks to Pat Rooney of Carlow Precast for the move and to Tim Harrington and the lads of Boro Landscapes for the groundworks.
Cherryorchard2 is a blog set up by Martin Lyttle (a stone sculptor) to document the commissioning process for a “per cent for art scheme”. The scheme is Cherryorchard Housing Scheme, Phase II, in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford.
The blog follows the process for submission of the proposal, including developing an idea for a piece of scuplture, basic reseach, fleshing out, making maquettes etc, etc….it will be all there on the posts.
Thanks to Wexford County Council Arts Office and in particular Sinead Redmond for all her help.
Congratulations Martin! Mum has been to view the cherries in situ and says that they look even better in position than she thought they would be, high praise from her indeed!!! X Nicola
