It has been quite a while since the Japanese Tea Gardens have been open. The last time I remember going there was when my daughter was 4 days old. It had fallen into severe disrepair and until recently had nobody to look after it except the one gardener on staff by the city. This garden is in an old cement quary and is not something that one person can keep up by himself. Needless to say, the entire gardens have been less than presentable for the better part of the past 5 years. Recently many volunteers have joined together to clean up this beautiful garden and today was its official re-opening!!! I had to take my daughter out there to see it as there is no way she can remember 11 years ago.
Here are a couple pictures for you:
This is the pavillion view fromt the far side of the pond.
This is the inside view (looking somewhat up) in the pavillion.
This if the view from in front of the pavillion across half of the garden. The tree with the purple flowers is a Japanese Orchid Tree.
This is my daughter in front of the waterfall at the back of the garden.
This is my daughter beside the Japanese Orchid Tree.
This is my daughter and me:)
