The Garden:
Nature lovers rejoice! The garden provides fresh air, tranquility, and complete privacy. A safe habitat to birds, bunnies, chipmunks, and squirrels, this garden has evergreen trees.
You will find 2 climbing rose plants here whose parent plant survived Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. Marigolds that originated from Nelson Mandela’s house garden in South Africa bloom in summer. At the back corner of this garden, there is a Bamboo grove with prayer flags from the Himalayas of Nepal—an ideal spot to relax, meditate, and/or reflect.
