Japanese Gardens 2025

Botanic Garden, Glencoe, IL. This 17-acre lakeside Japanese garden includes three islands. Only two—Seifuto (Island of Clear, Pure Breezes) and Keiunto (Island of the Auspicious Cloud)—are open to the public. Across the lake, the inaccessible island Horaijima (Island of Everlasting Happiness) is symbolic of paradise—in sight yet elusive. Thank you Hitslab for the copyright free music, Pixabay.
