News that a garden had been voted Scotlan's most important work of art, photographer Allan Pollok-Morris spent five years capturing the work of Scottish landscape designers and artists.

The results are on display, beginning tomorrow and continuing until June 5, at the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington. The collection of large-scale photographs is titled, "Close: A Journey in Scotland."

Among the landscape designers whose work he has photographed are Andy Goldsworthy, Penelope Hobhouse, Charles Jencks, Ian Hamilton Finlay and Arabella Lennox-Boyd.

The works by these designers, captured by Pollok-Morris in his book, "Close: Landscape Design and Land Art in Scotland," help make the case that garden makers so-called "land artists" are part of the art community.

The U.S. Botanic Garden is open to the public, free of charge, every day of the year from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is located at 100 Maryland Ave., SW, on the west side of the U.S. Capitol. Visitors are urged to take Metrobus or Metrorail as parking is limited. For more information, visit the Botanic Garden website.
