Hatley Park - Japanese garden

Part 3

The Japanese garden looks the same as usual. Several gardeners were working there.

I can't remember what these purple and pink flowers are called but they are quite tiny and grow low to the ground. Update: the plant is Pulmonaria or Lungwort.

It's a good time of year for skunk cabbage apparently.

Sundial in the rose garden. I especially remember being here as a kid with my Grandmother. There is a wall on one side of this garden, and this visit was the first time I've ever been through the gate. On the other side is a house and greenhouses... and more gardeners.

This waterwheel used to be painted. When I was little I was fascinated by this "huge" waterwheel. Years later I went back and was shocked to find that it shrunk considerably. That's how it seemed once I was bigger anyway.

End of Hatley Park tour.
