About this garden

The story

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.
