The Japanese Garden - Cornwall

By Alternativeeden @markngaz
Another blog post that is long overdue was our visit to the Japanese Garden near Newquay in Cornwall. Started in 1991, this garden is now well established, with a fine selection of oriental trees and shrubs, laid out in a classical Japanese style.

Right from the start, we loved the ethereal feel of the garden with old gnarled moss covered trees and rocks.

Despite no flowers the garden is a vibrant mixture of colours and shades.

When we spotted this acer catching the sunlight we both stopped in our tracks,
we just had to take a photo!

Throughout the garden running water is a constant companion, streams, pools
 and waterfalls gave the garden constant movement.

The garden is also home to a selection of impressive Bonsai trees, some for sale (with equally impressive price tags!)
