On another level, it can be viewed as a metaphor for life’s journey, a place conducive to entering a meditative state, which calms and renews the spirit. Like any garden, it is alive with beautiful things, making it a feast for the senses. That peace can be found just north of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at Como Park, in the Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden. In a country as densely populated as Japan, a garden provides a source of relief and serenity in crowded, urban areas. The Japanese Garden is open year round, weather dependent. Infused with true Japanese design, the garden is meant to delight your senses. A renowned landscape designer in Nagasaki, Masami Matsuda, created the garden according to time honored Japanese design principles using plants and trees that are hardy in Minnesota. The Charlotte Partridge Ordway Japanese Garden is a living symbol of the peace and friendship that exists between Saint Paul and its sister city Nagasaki, Japan.
