Desert Garden

Weaving in and out of plots reveals countless varieties

of desert flora. The garden is composed of a surprisingly

colorful and vibrant array of plants: flowering cacti, leafy

succulents and towering palms fill the grounds.

Japanese Garden

HRolling hills, inset steps and

an impossibly rounded bridge.

Winding in and out of paths

leads you up staircases, past

a teahouse, alongside a koi

pond and finally up among the

bonsai. Stones, lanterns and

lion statues line the path - their

muted textures complimenting

the raw wood and grassy

surfaces of the garden.

The Conservatory Greenhouse

HThe cloud forest. Fog

descends from the ceiling

as you go walking through

mists, slowly discovering

that which is only just ahead

of you. Orchids grow from

trees and mossy slopes, the

floor around you teams with

variegated leaves, and a

steamy pool contains lilies

and other plants living on

air and water.
