The Japanese Garden at Dawes Arboretum is more than 50 years old. The Japanese Garden at The Dawes Arboretum was designed in 1963 by Dr. Makoto Nakamura, a lecturer in Landscape Architecture at the University of Kyoto, Japan.

In the Garden
Through the years, Dawes Arboretum outside Columbus Ohio has been one of my favorite places to make photographs.
The Dawes Arboretum is dedicated to increasing the love and knowledge of trees, history and the natural world. Founded in 1929 by Beman and Bertie Dawes, The Arboretum was inspired by the couple’s love of trees and nature. Today we remain dedicated to our mission through providing exceptional educational programs and events as well as maintaining incredible horticulture collections on over 1,800 acres of beautiful ground
This peaceful chair is in a flower garden not far from the visitor’s center. Every time I see this image, I want to go there and relax with a good book.
Sunflowers
We hadn’t planned on growing sunflowers here at Merry Mount Manor, but the squirrels, cardinals and other birds had different ideas.
They scattered sunflower seeds from the bird feeder just about everywhere. This year, we have sunflowers.
They’re quite pretty. The birds seem to like them, and we’ve enjoyed them.
