Just above the Grass Garden is a meeting circle for celebrations and special events. A row of Manchurian pear trees enclose the space with lush greenery in summer, while banksia cones melt colour like candlewax, attracting a variety of birds, such as the Adelaide Rosella. Peter Maddox’s trio of corten steel instruments – The Strings – is nestled amongst a patch of red-stemmed cornus shrubs, capturing a physical expression of the ‘music in nature’ ethos that is at the heart of UKARIA.
