In lieu of GardenScape for 2013, Rochester’s premier landscape craftsmen put their skills to work at the Garden Artisans of Rochester Expo. This event was held March 14-17, 2013 at Southtown Plaza in Henrietta, NY. Although there was no theme or judging of the displays, our own Christopher Law, Nursery Manager, did yeoman’s duty in designing the combined Oriental Garden Supply/Twin Oaks Lawn and Landscape display in addition to the little gardens scattered around and joining the various landscaper displays at the Expo.

In 1897, the state of New York reserved 39 acres of land in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, part of which was an ash dump, for a botanic garden. The Garden was actually founded in 1910 with construction of the various gardens following soon after. The BBG now comprises about 52 acres of gardens and collections, including a number of specialty gardens such as the famous Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden. Learn more at their website here.

One of the most important underlying design tenets of Japanese gardens is the blending of the indoors and the outdoors to form a seamless living space where Nature becomes fully integrated into one’s life. Quite often, carefully crafted gardens hint at the untamed wilds, shut off from the surrounding civilization by a privacy screen of fencing or dense hedges.

This garden has been painstakingly built by a founding member of the local Oriental Garden Society, Charles Oesterly, and his son Amur. It is a Japanese style garden and consists of a stroll garden with viewing structure and large pond, a dry landscape garden viewed through a picture window in the home, and general landscaping to complement the theme. There are many sculpted pines, stands of bamboo, grasses and unusual plants.

This garden is located near Silverton, Oregon and is a large stroll garden with numerous "rooms". Many of the country's largest nurseries, which are based in Oregon, have contributed rare and unusual specimen plants to this botanical wonder.
