Jaapani Aed - Kadriorg Park - Tallinn, Estonia - Japanese Gardens on Waymarking.com

«In 2011 the Kadriorg Park received a truly wonderful addition in form of the Japanese garden. The garden was designed by renowned landscape designer from Japan, Masao Sone. The North-East corner of Kadriorg Park’s natural landscape with tall trees and heavy rocks is well suited for it. Plants have been chosen to suit Estonia's colder climate. In spring, cherry trees and rhododendrons blossom, in summer, the garden is filled with irises and orrises, whilst autumn with its seasonal change, brings reds, oranges, yellows and browns. It is the largest public, rhododendrons garden in the region.

Rocks play an important part in the garden. Mr Sone fell in love with the Tallinn's cobble stone Old Town and this influence is clearly visible in the garden.

Kardiorg Park’s garden is a tea garden. In Japan gardens tell a story, this one tells the story of the road people take through life. And like life you enter the garden the same way you leave.»
