We have heard about the Morikami Garden many times but never been to visit,
as the girls were about to begin their study of Japan we thought it was a great time for a family day in the garden!
It was a very pretty area with several different garden styles, a lake to walk around with plenty of spots to stop and feed koi fish, a bonsai tree collection, an area to learn about life in Japan and the history of the Japanese American community in South FL in the early 1900's, and a small museum featuring work by Japanese artists.
a Japanese treat for the ride home
