Colin Soudain's collection of over a million shells has resulted in the creation of the world's largest shell garden. He placed his first shell in the garden of his home in 1957 and today the area is bursting with mermaids, dolphins and church congregations, all painstakingly made in shell. The garden is located on Mont Les Vaux, St Brelade, Jersey, Channel Islands.

Started by Colin Soudain,  the Jersey Shell Garden, has become the largest of its kind in the world consisting of millions of locally collected mollusc shells.

The garden is truly unique; there is not another quite like it anywhere in the world. One of the reasons we are on the "net" is to find out about more of these unique creations around the world, and for the rest of the world to find out about our shells and us.

Some years ago, Colin Soudain handed the management and creative direction over to me, Jon Morgan, and I have tried to carry on where Colin left off. Although the garden is now a business, all the additions I make to the garden are for my pleasure and other people's pleasure, and not for financial gain, therefore maintaining the original air of innocence by which the Shell Garden was created.
