MORE PEACEFUL SCENES

FROM THE JAPANESE GARDEN,

MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN

SEIWA-EN,

the "garden of pure, clear harmony and peace,"

is one of the largest traditional Japanese gardens

in North America.

We're lucky to have this 14-acre garden

at Missouri Botanical Garden.

The design incorporates many principles

of Japanese aesthetics drawn from Zen Buddhism,

such as "suggestion, naturalness and asymmetry

within the landscape."
