Intent: An intimate viewing and experiential garden that incorporates the traditions of Japanese garden principles while reflecting our local landscape, honouring the mission of Mundialization. A highly valued space by

people, formally dressed or more casual - it is still a space

for people...for walking, strolling, viewing and finding respite as well as play in the

outdoors, rain or shine

Use of many layers of texture and formwith various types of Japanese maples,evergreens and structures
