His creation, Brief Garden is located on a former huge rubber plantation, which his father, Benjamin, descendant of English planters originally acquired. After a couple of years after the death of the Father, in 1929 the mother of the family convinced the Bevis to accept the management of rubber trees, which he inherited from her husband and called "Brief" - "Summary" (in connection with the work of the late husband - he was engaged in legal affairs in the military administration Sri Lanka). The guy immediately cleared the territory and began to build a house and the garden to his taste.Subsequently, in the range of extraordinary beauty, who just did not live here later - many Srisky popular artists, dancers and designers, foreign guests (including the British actor Lawrence Olivier, English actress Vivien Lee, Duke of Windsor, Agatu Christie and Australian artist Donald Frand, who initially planned to stay At the cottage for a week, but lingered at least six years). In short, all the cream of society of those years.
Bava hired 15 gardeners so that you support the beauty of the garden, and Bevis himself experimented with sculptures and art objects in the garden. And so right until 1992, and after the death of the gardens switched to his head gardener. Today, these gardens are open to visits - and this is the most interesting and most beautiful place. In the garden, winding paths pass through a thick tropical greens, up and down the slopes, and then suddenly go to the staircase, to the patio, pond and sculptures. Everything is filled with vegetation and compositions of bushes and colors, that visitors who do not know the garden plan, it seems chaotic accumulation of various styles and directions.

There is still a water cascade, on both sides framed bamboo, "live" gazebos, mosaic benches, square lawns and much more. Yes, and the house of the bungalow himself, as it is also called - a complex combination of a veranda, courtyards with elegant furniture, paintings and frescoes (gifts of artists and souvenirs from all over Asia). By the way, another similar garden created the younger brother of Bevis, Jeffrey, and he is nearby, in the town of Lunugang. The entrance to the Brief Garden park is about 1000 rupees per person (expensive, but it is worth it).
