In 1959, Herman Rusch, 74, a self-taught artist, built his first concrete and stone planter. By the close of 1974, Rusch had created nearly forty huge concrete, stone, and rock sculptures, using inventive fabrication techniques and materials including bricks, iron wheels, old grain drills, crockery, glass, and seashells; plus related flower beds. A colorful folk art tour d'force, thegardens are a preservation project of the Kohler Foundation, Inc. Donations appreciated.
