Overview of the Japanese Garden in the Huntington Library Botanical Garden in Pasadena, California. Most prominent is the steeply arched wood bridge (closed to pedestrians) over a pond. There is are also a willow tree, topiary trees pruned in the shape of stacked flat ovals. People are walking through the garden, and a Japanese style building is up on a bank in the distance. The sky is blue and it's a beautiful day. In addition to 130 acres of themed gardens, The Huntington has significant holdings of botanical living collections, including orchids, camellias, cycads, and bonsai, examples of which may be found throughout the grounds.
