Inspired by the classic story, this garden is our homage to the book written by Frank L. Baum in 1899, and since immortalised in the 1939 Warner Brothers film. A multi-layered theatrical experience, you are invited to follow the yellow brick road – from a black and white Kansas prairie to ‘somewhere over the rainbow‘. Re-tracing Dorothy’s footsteps past Munchkinland, via the Cornfield Crossroads, through a dark forest and drowsy poppy fields, and on to Emerald City beyond.
The garden features several bespoke art pieces and the path is in the shape of the Golden Spiral – the 1:1.618 ratio of sacred geometry. Moreover, its more than a sweet fairytale and quest for brains, heart and courage. For those that eyes to see and ears to hear, there is much hidden symbolism that satirizes and questions politics and economics, which is of relevance in Ireland today. After all, there’s no place no like home and we ain’t in Kansas any more.
