Anderson Japanese Gardens, Rockford, Illinois, is internationally renowned as one of the premier Japanese Gardens outside of Japan. Situated on a twelve acre site and comprised of an authentic Japanese pond-strolling garden, guest house, tea house, gazebo, stone lanterns, and waterfalls, as well as the Garden of Reflection, and a contemporary garden with a strong Japanese influence. A Japanese Garden is designed to allow the visitor to reflect upon the tranquil beauty of nature. In doing so, one is led away from the stresses of everyday life. The serenity one feels in the garden instills a sense of calm and enables the visitor to commune with nature and thus one's self. The following video is a compilation of stills taken on a trip to the Gardens with my Mom, on 8/9/06. They are presented in the exact chronological order that they were shot, preserving each step of our journey on that day.

A wonderful slideshow. The sound the water makes as it tumbles and splashes give the garden a voice. A slow pace is best as you walk the paths or you might miss a hidden nook of flowers or stone terrace. We loved our visit.

Just went yesterday. Beautiful. I can't wait to return. It's a 70 mile drive and I feel lucky that I'm even that close. It's a magical place. If I could build a home and landscape in any fashion, this would be it.
