The Blessings from the Sea
==========================

 Large Show Garden

*The Blessings from the Sea* presents the story of Chollipo Arboretum, Korea's first private arboretum, founded by Carl Ferris Miller, who transformed barren coastal land into a thriving botanical sanctuary. The garden offers a contemporary interpretation of this landscape through dune and coastal planting, a traditional *doksal,* and a sustainably built pavilion inspired by the Korean *hanok*. Together, these elements introduce a distinctive Korean landscape to British audiences and convey a powerful message of resilience, respect for nature, and finding blessings even in the most challenging environments.
