Japanese Tea Garden, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA

As part of our visit to San Francisco, we strolled amids the cherry trees, flowering azaleas, oriental magnolias, Japanese maples, dwarf pines, cedars and cypresses in the Japanese Tea Garden in the middle of Golden Gate Park. The garden is an oasis of calm and quiet that provides respite from the bustling city. Definitely one of the highlights of our visit.

Japanese black pine, the oldest plant in the garden, brought over from Japan as a potted plant over in the early 1900's.

Cranes and stone pagoda.
