History

There is very little here about how and why the garden was founded. Also, who owns the garden now? How was the land acquired, etc. etc. Tibetologist (talk) 05:41, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is more detail about that here. If you're interested, maybe you might expand that section in the article? Otherwise, I'll give it a go in a few days. —EncMstr (talk) 06:04, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

expansion

Wrote a little from the garden website about the new expansion. Wasn't sure of the best place to put it. The write up about the expansion is also pretty thorough on the garden website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.246.191.114 (talk) 07:52, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding that. I don't see where in the cited source that it gives specifics about the expansion, so I have tagged that part. —EncMstr (talk) 21:31, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Source

Is there a source for: "When entering a Japanese garden, the desired effect is to realize a sense of peace, harmony, and tranquility and to experience the feeling of being a part of nature. In a deep sense, a Japanese garden is a living reflection of the long history and traditional culture of Japan. Influenced by Shinto, Buddhist, and Taoist philosophies, there is always “something more” in these compositions of stone, water, and plants than meets the eye." I'm not sure if the third source includes this or not TreboniusArtorius (talk) 04:46, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maple tree

Why is there no mention of the Japanese maple that is so popular among photographers? Heyzeuss (talk) 13:12, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
