A Japanese Garden


The Japanese gardens at the Missouri Botanical Gardens are stunning.
These traditional gardens, with many stone lanterns and other features, surround a large pond.


Raked gravel surfaces surround beautifully-shaped trees, stone lanterns, and large rocks.




There are quite a few stone water basins with bamboo water-supply pipes.






In the pond we saw ducks, geese, and a few egrets.


A bridge at one end of the pond allows one to view the enormous koi
