Serpent Garden Waters

A Plagiaristic Poem From The Alnwick Garden

Coanda From the Ce

Introduction

There are eight water features in The Serpent Garden in the Alnwick Garden, but there is nothing on their site that documents them. Also, each one has a mirrored description plate which is almost impossible to photograph. They are all described in the blog post below, but I thought I would try and describe them in two quatrains for an effective short tour.

This is my Instagram post of my views of the water features.
