Every Spring our gardeners have to remove new

Summer in the garden


                                         Children enjoying the garden.



                                         A main feature of Japanese gardens is contrasts of greens and natural
                                          colors of the trees and rocks.


                                           Japanese lilacs


                                            Strolling Garden


                                           Visitors enjoy quit moments


                                              Visitors love to take pictures in so many places in the garden
