Gardenvisit Editorial

Innisfree garden was made by Walter and Marion Beck and conceived as a Chinese garden. It was taken over, in 1960, by the Chair of the Landscape Architecture programme at Harvard, Lester Collins, and opened to the public. Walter Beck described his work as a 'cup garden', with the 'cup' drawing attention to something rare or beautiful. A 40 acre glacial lake occupies the center of the cup - and the Innisfree garden estate.

    Lovely location..the lake acts as a central focus to the various 'creations' around it. I felt it was more a series of studies in recreating relationships between rock and plants. Definetely worth a visit
