Garden of Cosmic Speculation

I heard a segment on Radio 3 today about a piece of music based on the above garden. Some of the music sounded a bit like Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

Looked up the garden. Then realised it is by the same designer as the piece by the Modern Art Gallery in Edinburgh.

There's a book about it too. It's like something from Alice in Wonderland.

The garden is near Dumfries, but is only open for one day. I think it was on 5th May. Worth a look if you can get there.
