Forty Acres Of Pure SerenityFew garden sections in the United States match the sheer ambition of this one. Spanning over 40 acres, the Japanese Gardens feature spring-fed ponds, miniature islands, stone lanterns, and a traditional Torii gate at the entrance. Multiple reviewers describe this section as the finest Japanese garden they have ever visited, and that includes people who have traveled internationally. The display runs from late spring through fall, which means this garden has one of the longest bloom windows on the entire property. Blooms appear from May until the first heavy frost, giving this garden one of the longest seasons on the property.
