(now Marx Promotion Intelligence). <BR/><BR/>That's Wally Sr's private residence. I personally only know a few people who have seen it—people who are friends of Wally Jr or Kara Marx (his daughter). I doubt it will become a public garden while he is still alive. I think he's proud of his accomplishment and that's why he allows it to be photographed. It's a way of sharing it without having people traipsing around his property.<BR/><BR/>Because I was a Horticulture student, I remember Wally Jr telling me about it while his dad was still designing it. I made some sort of snide remark at the time (because in my mind Wally was only a buisiness man). I never imagined it would turn out to be so beautiful, but in truth, artisitic ability runs in their family. Wally Jr. is a musician, for example.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could embed this video in my blog...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13466687.post-57938805919922469482007-10-11T19:16:00.000-05:002007-10-11T19:16:00.000-05:00I suspect that it will end up being a public garde...I suspect that it will end up being a public garden. Why else would Marx allow it to be in the 1001 book?

I just did a little blurb about it with a link to the KSTP site - but I should have sent people over here - you did a much nicer post than I did!!!<BR/><BR/>I hope someday this will be a public garden - like Filoli or the Huntington Gardens in California. If I had a gem like that, I think I'd want to share. :)krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717829287358693407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13466687.post-67986631749733667392007-10-11T12:41:00.000-05:002007-10-11T12:41:00.000-05:00Gisela, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comme...Gisela, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.Peter Hohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916196998855947137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13466687.post-7852128684745167942007-10-10T06:00:00.000-05:002007-10-10T06:00:00.000-05:00Hello Peter,I found your comments with the link in...Hello Peter,<BR/>I found your comments with the link in Kris garden by the lake blog.
