GeoScience Art Collective Garden of Cosmic Speculation Trip, Sun 4th May 2008


The Garden of Cosmic Speculation near Dumfries was created by the renowned American
designer and architectural critic Charles Jencks and his late wife Maggie Keswick. The
garden contains many landforms, sculptures, bridges, terraces, fences and other
architectural works inspired by science and cosmogony. An example of Charles Jencks work
is the fancy sculptured lawn at the front of the Gallery of Modern Art here in Edinburgh.
