There is a garden tucked away in a corner of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco that is a real gem. It is Japanese by design complete with Koi and a Bamboo Grove with an elegant, sculpted stone trough that you could sink into for a peaceful rest. One of the things I loved the most about this little slice of Asian culture were the tall Monterey Cypress trees that created a protective canopy over the garden. Their silvery trunks, burnished by the Pacific winds, contrasted beautifully with the many subtle shades of green topiary that line the paths wandering through this escape from reality.
