| 释义 |
Happy Valley is a garden created by Edwin Harrold in Stenness, Orkney, Scotland. HistoryThe site, which includes a house, was originally known as "Bankburn". The garden was created from a bare hillside by Edwin Harrold, between October 1948 and the 1990s.[1] Mr Harrold had to give up the garden, as he was too old to maintain it, and he died in 2005.[2] Amongst his aims, was to create a wooded area on Orkney, as trees are highly unusual on the archipelago. In 2004 the local council, Orkney Islands Council, took ownership of the site from the owner, Professor Isbister. A group was formed in 2007 called "Friends of Happy Valley"; they are a group of volunteers who meet together not only to discuss the future of the gardens, but also to work on maintaining the garden.[3] The Council Special Projects Department assisted by maintaining some of the paths and steps, and in April 2008 volunteers planted 700 new trees to add to the existing woodland.
