In this pavilion, special exhibits and seasonal events are often presented.

A variety of water features add interest and texture to the individual venues.

Beauty in the landscaping is often in the delicate details, like this classic maple.

Today the pavilion held a display of indigo textiles with a detailed explanation.

Shihoko Futomoto of Japan created these delicate, shimmering hangings.

Several ponds form a chain through several peaceful, colorful scenarios.

In the fall, a visitor should note color everywhere - even in canopies overhead.

A series of decks allows walking above the waters to view large, multi-hued koi.

Open areas often contrast different sands or stone surfaces with moss/grass.

In this stone garden, gravels are carefully groomed around the rock "islands".

For gifts or souvenirs, a small, gift shop offers a nice selection of pretty items.
