Tropical Gardens

The lure of the tropics is covered, including its diversity of plant species, brilliance of colors, leaf shapes, and forms: as illustrated two centuries apart in the paintings and writings of "exploratrices intrépides" Marianne North and Margaret Mee; from within the lush, personal paradise at Villa Pancha in the Dominican Republic, one of Asia's oldest botanic gardens, Keban Raya in Indonesia; and Hawaii's youngest, Ho'omaluhia on Oahu.

Japanese Gardens

Japan's timeless cultural reverence for the natural world in the gardens of Kyoto is evidenced: from the ancient moss temple garden of Saiho-ji and Karesansui-style gardens at Ryoan-Ji, Daisen-In, and Ryogen-En, to the borrowed landscapes of Shinyodo, the extensive pond gardens of the Heian Shrine, and the formal stroll garden at Shinshin-An.
