Reconstruction of the 19th Century Garden

24 January, 2011 14:23 by Anne

Work progresses on the formation of the garden beds and planting will soon commence. You can see in this time-lapse photography, a central platform in the inner circle garden bed. This is the reconstructed footings of the mysterious German Kiosk that was discovered during the archaeological dig in October/November 2009. To date no evidence beyond the footings has been found to inform the reconstruction the German Kiosk. The central element of this formal garden remains the unfinished story still to be told.
