At the end of the first
summer in 1994 we had finished the first pond,
which has since become known as the lower pond.
The stream has been rerouted now to drain into
the upper pond. A boardwalk now covers the
concrete walkway near the house.
The garden matures a
little with the addition of the
"upper" pond by the end of the second
season of construction.
View of the main entry
gate, path, and stream, from the inside of the
garden looking out. The roof now has a bamboo
crown.
