Our Artistic Garden for the Many Seasons
We are delighted to announce the launch of a series of garden courses designed to explore the inspiration and fundamental building blocks of our newly redesigned garden as a living canvas. We our garden isn't just a garden. It's a living canvas that paints itself through the seasons. Every visit reveals a new masterpiece and feels increasingly personal over time.
Logie Cassells introduces three revolutionary elements that transform garden design: Hans Hoffman's push-and-pull theory (visual dance on canvas), Monet's approach to light and colour, and Van Gogh's painting style of bold, emotional colours and movement.
Students will discover how artistic theory and garden design intersect to create spaces of wonder and reflection within its new canvas. But there is one more thing, we have mapped this entire experience to the Japanese 72-season calendar.
