Garden of Cosmic Speculation, Landscape garden in Scotland
The Garden of Cosmic Speculation is a 30-acre sculpture garden created by Charles Jencks at his home, Portrack House, near Dumfries.
The garden was inspired by science and mathematics, with sculptures and landscaping on these themes, such as Black Holes and Fractals.
It is not abundant with plants, but sets mathematical formulae and scientific phenomena made physical into a landscape.
The garden is private but opens one day a year through Scotland's Gardens Scheme and raises money for Maggie's Centres, a cancer care charity.
The garden is inspired by the modern cosmology and has features that represent the story of the universe.
