Sad thoughts
This is an amazing place appeared in Scotland in the town of Dumfries in 1989. Instead of exotic flowers and shrubs there is an abundance of aluminum beds instead of beating up fountains - black holes and optical illusions, and the landscape is simply mesmerizing its unusual shapes and puzzles. It is unique in its kind garden, walking through which you will feel that it is not created man and extraterrestrial civilization.
But he has a very real creator, or rather two of them - is an architectural critic and practicing architect Charles Jencks and his wife, Maggie Keswick landscaper, Jenks.
In 1988, Maggie got from his mother he inherited Portrack House with a large enough piece of land - 16 acres. It was the most commonly referred to: vegetables, berries, greenhouse with a collection of begonias. But Maggie offered to split the park in this area, like no one else in the world.
Mounds "The Serpent and the Snail"
Black dyra
Still in the development stage of the project the idea of play on this piece of land the universe in miniature. Through the garden forms, landscapes, sculptures Charles and Maggie decided to show not only the beauty of the universe, but its laws, paradoxes, its birth and evolution.

Each object garden is the idea that everything in the universe develops gradually. This can be seen in the unusual landscape reliefs, formed of several levels.
Spiral DNK
A special place in the universe and in the garden occupies a spiral. Charles Jencks sees her expression everywhere in scathing dance hurricanes in the chain of DNA in the nerve impulses to the brain, and even in the bath drain hole.
Garden DNA and senses cheloveka
In the center of the garden is a sculpture of a spiral, which leads to all tracks and alleys. But to reach it, and thus to grasp the essence of the universe, will have to try.
In short, just take a stroll through the gardens will not work on it and the reflection garden. However, those who are tired of solving a rebus can relax and forget for a short while in the "gazebo meaninglessness».
This garden is privately owned by Charles Jenks, but for a few days a year it opens its doors to all comers, and even sometimes the guided tours.
Garden brings real benefits: all the money transfers to the Charles Charitable Foundation named after his wife Maggie Keswick Jencks,. The Fund provides assistance to cancer patients and was created in memory of Maggie, who died of cancer in 1995.
So all the reflections in the garden are not just for the benefit of themselves, but also for others.
