Recreating Eden: Reflections of the Soul

“Patrick Lane and Lorna Crozier have created a sensational garden at their home in Victoria, BC.

Ian Hamilton Finlay's website

Ian Hamilton Finlay 28 October 1925 - 27 March 2006 “The art of Ian Hamilton Finlay is unusual for encompassing a variety of different media and discourses. Poetry, philosophy, history, gardening and landscape design are among the genres of expression through which his work moves, and his activities have assumed concrete form in cards, books, prints, inscribed stone or wood sculptures, room installations and fully realised garden environments.”—Prudence Carlson

In the January 2007 edition of the Scotland-Canada Poetry Exchange, Stephen Scobie introduces the work of Ian Hamilton Finlay.
