Celestial Harmony: The Foundation Stone Garden

On April 24, 1916, a small garden known as Foundation Stone was installed at Farm Leigh House in Phoenix Park.

With a commemorative speech by the esteemed Patrick Pearse, this unique garden was brought to life, a reflection of the solar system as it stood at that very moment.

A symphony of boulders, lichen-kissed and meticulously arranged, orbited a central granite bowl, their positions mirroring the alignment of the planets. Circular ripples of grass, like celestial rings, accentuated the perfect placement of these cosmic stones, transforming the garden into a miniature night sky.

Here, in the heart of a bustling Dublin, Ireland, was a sanctuary that connected us to the vastness of the cosmos.

The Foundation Stone Garden is a testament to the boundless creativity that can be found in the simplest of designs.

It reminds us that inspiration can be found anywhere, from the grandest landscapes to the most intimate spaces.

Yes, you can be inspired by the celestial harmony of this garden.

Allow your gardener's imagination and design inspiration to soar to new heights.
