Huntington Estate Gardens






The Huntington Gardens
The Gardens cover nine acres of a canyon.  The five room home  in the top photo is a copy of an upper class home.  The dining room is furnished with the typical pillows for seats on the floor at a low table appointed with a tea service and tableware.  The home is completed with typical furnishings throughout.  The Drum Bridge or Moon Bridge is a copy of an authentic pedestrian bridge.

The Dry Garden in the lower photo which is designed in gravel and used for meditation has a very serene setting.  Located in an area behind the Dry Garden is the collection of the Bonsai Trees.  The entire garden gives one the feeling of peace as everything is designed in balance and harmony.
