PLANET GARDEN
There used to be nine but Pluto has gone so now there are eight. Wotton (Bucks) had three : Jupiter, Mars and Neptune (all statues). Many places of course had a Temple of Venus.
Does anyone know if any Garden worldwide was deliberately designed as a Planet Garden containing 9 (or 8 if more modern)garden ornaments/buildings named after the planets ?
If not then I’d like to suggest this innovative idea to a budding landscape designer.

On a similar theme, I am currently working on a design for a ‘planets garden’ to go in one of our public parks in Derbyshire. No statues, but the beds are to be themed on the colours of the planets with some reference to their differing sizes, although this is difficult to make in any way realistic. I have searched the web for inspiration but not found any other planet gardens so far.
