Garden Rooms

Upon entering the cheery, sunlit Rose Garden room, the trickling birdbath fountain, curved benches and sheltering arbors invite slowing down and pausing.  Further exploration will take the garden visitor through a doorway to the Gallery Garden, sporting a Bamboo Forest mural by Mark Nilsson, two large vessels and blue glass mimicking a dry creek bed. The adjacent Discovery Garden displays a Japanese-style garden theme and a soft purple wall color, evoking a thought-provoking mood. Large boulders and several small trees and conifers give the illusion of a larger space and encourage the visitor to explore the garden. The wooden benches are private and create cozy seating nooks. Flowing water from the tiered water feature transcends everyday sounds. Finally, an open gate draws the visitor into the small, intimate Zen Garden, a place for quiet contemplation. The circular sphere fountain in the center of the room provides the focal point, and the soothing sound of slowly cascading water. Simple bench seats, verdant small trees, misty blue walls and garden art combine to form a calming, uncluttered space.
