Japanese Garden Phoenix Arizona


My sister-in-law, Linda and I went to the Japanese Garden near downtown Phoenix, Arizona. This group of rocks was part of the monument at the beginning of our walk. I don't think I have ever seen so many rocks the same size before. My friend Suzanne loves round rocks and wants a round rock garden.


The garden was made for quiet time and had many spots like this to sit and meditate, or to just enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The boulders in this picture forming the water fall were all hand picked. The bolder creating the two water falls weighed 25 tons!!

It was a little cool for our walk, but the sun was out making the garden very beautiful. The rest of our day was spent at a nursery. It almost felt like we were in another garden as we walked through the rows of trees, shrubs, and flowers. I enjoyed seeing all of the plants and trees that grow well in the desert.
