Photographers find many interesting vistas and angles for capturing the beauty of the garden. The tall trees at the right of this view provide a shady spot for picnickers. Eight handicap accessible picnic tables are provided for guests. Modern restrooms are located at the opposite end of the bricked walkway leading through the center of the garden.
