PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION Percy Cane (Percival Stephen Cane, 1881–1976) was an English garden designer and writer.
Cane began designing gardens around 1919 and within a decade he had become one of the most sought-after designers of his day.[1] His gardens range from the grounds of the Jubilee Palace of Haile Selassie, the Emperor of Ethiopia, in Addis Ababa, to a tiny town garden in Taptonville Road, Sheffield.[2]
Two gardens wholly or partly designed by Cane in Scotland are designated "of national importance" and are thus included on Historic Environment Scotland's Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes]]. His work at Falkland Palace in the late 1940s "gives Falkland Palace gardens outstanding value as a Work of Art."[3] The river garden he designed for Monteviot, Jedburgh, in the 1960s contributes to the garden's designation as "outstanding."[4] In addition, the gardens designed by Cane are mentioned in the Statement of Special Interest for the listed building at Ardencraig, Rothesay.[5]
