Established in 1987 with now 20 Acres of land,2 red bridges, and featuring 11 ponds, many of which have koi fish. This Japanese botanical garden is such a pretty place to take some pictures. Tours are available with a reservation on the 4th Saturday of every month at 10 am. I took my time here wandering, and I imagine once some of the construction is done it will allow access to even more of the gardens that I was unable to see. There’s more to do than just explore the garden like I did. They offer different workshops, events, and plant sales. The garden is closed at night, however I have heard if you go at night there’s spirits that haunt the gardens. My friend had gone at night to explore with friends, not being disrespectful but apparently he was unwelcomed. His chain was lifted off his body and then ripped off. I don’t suggest trespassing but it might interest some of my paranormal readers.
