The Japanese Garden by Lucy Stewart

The Japanese Garden by Lucy Stewart

At the turn of the twentieth century, Scottish adventurer Ella Christie returned home from a trip to Japan inspired to build her own Japanese garden.As might be expected from a woman who thought nothing of travelling to the other side of the world in search of the unusual, Ella's approach to developing the garden was trailblazing. She chose a female designer - the gifted Taki Handa - to create the seven-acre site in the grounds of Cowden Castle, near the Scottish town of Dollar. In doing so, the Japanese Garden at Cowden became the first and only garden of its size and scale to be designed by a woman. It remains a unique and utterly authentic bridge between British and Japanese culture.This book tells the remarkable story of Ella Christie, her travels and the creation of her garden, its gradual decline and triumphant restoration.
