Today I am giving you an image of the Chinese Garden that is in the St. Louis Botanical Gardens. I took this one just after the butterfly picture below so read that one to get more information about that day. I find it interesting to compare Japanese and Chinese gardens together since they are so different in style but still try to reflect nature. One thing that Chinese gardens have a lot of that Japanese Gardens don't is the use of limestone rocks. These odd shaped rocks cant be found in Japan but in China are used extensively in gardens and decoration.
