10 Most Breathtaking Gardens in the World
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation – Scotland
Open to the public only one day a year, the Garden of Cosmic Speculation takes science and maths as its inspiration. Quite simply, there isn't another garden like it in the world. The garden
was set up by Charles Jencks, together with his late wife Maggie
Keswick and is located at Portrack House near Dumfries. That's in
Scotland, by the way! It was set up in 1989 without the usual ideas
people have when they create a garden. Horticultural displays very much
take second place in this garden. Instead, it is designed with ideas in
mind - and to provoke thought (or at least speculation) about the very
nature of things.
Around the garden one can find amazing sculptures on themes such as this - the DNA helix in giganitic metallic glory.
Kuriositas would like to that

permission to allow us to use his pictures here. Please take a look at his photo sets.
