The Japanese Garden has a variety of themes. There is the traditional garden with its curved bridge and koi pond. There is the section with many bonsoi and in that area I can explain to the children about the Japanese idea of minature trees. The zen garden with its raked gravel and the rocks that are suppose to be islands of the ocean. In the new tea house you can see the tea ceremony on certain days. There are many ways to approach the teaching about the both the gardens themselves and Japanese traditions that are demonstrated in the garden.
