Mountain Meditation Garden

19. Waterfall and Floating Rock
Surrounded by a lush green garden of mountain meadow plants including numerous Carex species, Castilleja ligulifoia and Lilium philadelphicum, the Waterfall and Floating Rock are the focal point of the Mountain Meditation Garden. They closely resemble the many alpine waterfalls and pools present throughout the Rocky Mountains, but also impart a meditative Asian garden tradition. The garden area will be renovated in the near future to allow us to further expand our alpine and sub-alpine plant collections.

20. Meditation Areas
The Mountain Meditation Garden has benches in three different locations in the garden giving the visitor a variety of peaceful places to relax. One can view the Waterfall and Floating Rock directly, nestle beside the waterfall and overlook the floating rock, pool and stream or slip into a "room" of evergreens for a more tranquil experience.
