Rebecca Q. and James C. Morgan Garden (Cornell University)

I visited the Rebecca Q. and James C. Morgan Garden at the Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University. This garden was built in 2011, and designed by well known garden designer Marc Peter Keane.

The garden design is spectacular, especially given the small footprint in which to work. The elements of wood, water, stone, and earth complement each other very well, and the plantings are just enough to set a contemplative scene without overwhelming the viewer. The moss plantings are of particular interest, and the alignment of the stones along a winding course, help to create the illusion moving water. The garden as a whole is simply a piece of art work and one of the finest small gardens I have laid my eyes upon.
