Gardening Layout

When I layout my garden, it will be designed like a strip tease, with parts revealed, at certain points, and then concealed, perhaps behind viels, or sunk in shadow. So the viewer will be led on by the mystery of the next bend.
Although it is hard to imagine a garden not only as a 3dimensional space, but also as a temporal, chronological space, like a piece of music. With juxtapositions, and contrast both imediately, and over time.
Bethunes Gulley of Dunedin, is a myterious place, it is huge, and looks as though it may have been part of an ancient, giant long dead civilisation.

here is a map drawn from my minds eye. Of course from here it looks more like an intestine.


when you come out of the tunnel you can see right up the gully.
Once you've crossed the first green you are funnelled towards the foot bridge. Here the bush enclosers the vista, but through it you can make out the terraces beyond.
You cross the bridge and burst out into the second green, and make your way to the top of the steps under the forboding watch of the pines, this is the entry to the Mount Cargill walk.
