ABC Wednesday-"Q"- A Quiet, Contemplative Place

Japanese Garden
A Bridge of Understanding and Peace

The Como Ordway Memorial Japanese Garden is a living symbol of the peace and friendship that exists between Saint Paul and its sister city Nagasaki, Japan. A renowned landscape designer in Nagasaki, Masami Matsuda, created the garden according to time honored Japanese design principles using plants and trees that are hardy in Minnesota. Infused with true Japanese design, the garden is meant to delight. (Credit: Como Park Japanese Garden website)
