The Rookery Walled Garden had a podium where people could read their poems to the visitors of the garden. Other art forms are here performed from time to time like dance, music, and theatre. It was a lovely spot to paint, write poems, or make any other art.

Emotional landscapes are formed by nature herself all around us but often we failed to see it. Only when we can unwind from the rush of modern life we have the possibility to reflect on what nature offers us.

A walled garden provided us the perfect opportunity to leave the hassles behind us when we entered the garden through the special gate to engage protected in a different world. The walls sheltered us but nature can fly in from above and the sun stroke the space with her warming beams. A brilliant place to start cultivated nature, working with nature to create a variety of emotional landscapes in which we can contemplate and even meditate. A place where our inner creativity has a change to come out to evolve in a connection with nature.

When mAgdA came back to the walled garden in Solva in 2009 she rediscovered the plants she planted between 1998 and 2002. Berth and mAgdA made the design of the garden around these reappearing plants.

A design where stinging nettle is just as much appreciate as the Eucalyptus and the mint has its place next to the old apple tree - to show that "non-native" trees and plants can have a place and permission to grow in this landscape; to give a taste of the wild fruits and the domesticated fruits.
