Create a garden experience

摘要

Some gardens are tableaus, living paintings that one walks by and looks at, like some sort of marvelous billboard. There might even be another tableau right across from it, which you can look at in the samemanner as you turn and walk back in the other direction.Designed by Laura Crockett, the garden of Craig Quirk and Larry Neill is not that kind of a garden. It is a garden you walk into, and then you are immersed. Your attention is drawn by something—a seating area, a piece of art, or an amazing plant. But asyou move toward it, you see something else that makes you stop and look. Perhaps you move toward it or make a mental note to circle back around to see what is there. Then, again, your attention is drawn somewhere. Craig and Larry's garden is not something you look at; it is something you experience. And it is less than a quarter of an acre.
