Dragon fountain spout at Ganna Walska's Lotusland
Happy Year of the Dragon! Today, I want to share a first peek of a spectacular garden property. Ganna Walska’s Lotusland is an amazing garden in Montecito. Thirty-seven acres of incredible organic gardens with diversity and depth like no other. Open for private tours, Lotusland is a treasure of all treasures, especially for the garden lover. It serves as a constant source of inspiration for my own garden. Below are images of the beautiful and serene Japanese garden. I can’t wait to share more of Lotusland with you in weeks to come.
Japanese gardens possess four main elements…
Water
Plants, here a Japanese Maple
Ornaments
Stones, both large and small
