The parade of colors makes fall a special time to visit the Japanese Garden. But the garden is beautiful beyond the changing seasons. With four visits in four weeks, I had ample opportunity to look away from the brilliant yellows and fiery reds and enjoy some of the more serene parts of the garden. Here are some of the highlights.
Garden membership allows access before the general public, while staff are still at work tending the grounds. They mostly use traditional tools to minimize the impact.

I am amazed every time I see this Juniper and think of the generations of care that brought it to this moment.
The Sand and Stone Garden.
