As our community recovers from recent challenges, including the winds and fires, we’re reminded of the resilience and beauty of places like the Huntington Library Botanical Garden. Me and my family have been praying for the countless individuals affected by these fires, and I hope this video offers a moment of peace and inspiration.

The Japanese Garden at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, is a masterpiece of design and serenity—and one of my greatest sources of inspiration as a landscape designer.
In this video, I take you on a journey through this breathtaking space while searching for three iconic elements to inspire my own projects:
✅ A mesmerizing deer chaser fountain (shishi-odoshi)
✅ An elegant stone lantern
✅ A stunning Japanese maple
Join me as we explore the art of Japanese garden design and uncover ideas you can incorporate into your own outdoor spaces. Whether you’re a fellow designer or a garden enthusiast, you’ll find something to spark your creativity. Stay Rooted!

Love the Huntington ! The Japanese garden near the San Francisco botanical garden is stunning in April -September. Liked your Agave lesson as well. How about New Zealand plants? Unusual and interesting! Keep it up amigo.

It’s been too long since I’ve been to the Huntington.
