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

Japanese garden design is always so peaceful and elegant. They really know how to "make it work." This looks like a gem.
