Today I finally got around to visiting the Japanese Gardens next to the water recycling plant on Woodley between Burbank & Victory. A docent took us on a tour and we got to look at a lot of pretty views. He told us it's among the top 10 in the country. They have a teahouse and a gift shop. They also have special events if you check the website. They have school tours all the time. His little presentation took about 90 minutes. Lots of information about the theory of Japanese gardens (different shades of green, for example). It's something I think our students could appreciate, especially since the bus ride is not so lengthy. It could be combined with the tour of the water reclamation plant to double as a science lesson.
