In 2015 Ross Uerbergang revisited Kathmandu in Nepal and created a garden with a difference. Starting with a newly built site he wanted to make a garden that felt old and weathered using local weeds and plants that traced the country’s colonial history and recycled handmade bricks assembled with traditional techniques. A team of international volunteers answered his clarion call for help on social media and the design included his signature whimsical touches such as a giant brass water bowl with water lilies that doubled as an outdoor table where diners ate on floating metal lily pads.  Ross wrote about the garden shortly after it was built.
