An Cala Garden

Designed by Mawson in the early 1930's, An Cala displays many of the rugged features typical of his style. Meandering streams, winding paths, formal terracing built of the local slate and wide green lawns come together to form a pleasing harmony of elements. Much of the original planting still survives in the beds of Poulsen roses, groves of Japanese cherry trees, banks of Ghent azaleas and escallonia hedges. A fifteen foot high wall of grey brick protects the garden from the worst of the Atlantic gales, while the benign effect of the Gulf Stream allows abutilons and other tender plants to survive.
