The Edowgawa Gardens are a gift to Gosford City from its sister city Edogawa in Japan. Opened in 1994 the garden is a traditional Japanese 'Shuyu' or strolling style garden from the Heian period around 700AD.
Zephranthes candida or white windflower is used as an edging around the paths.
Raked stone garden or 'karesansui'
Japenese teahouse with a koi filled pond
Stone lanterns, this one a 'kotoji' named for its resemblance to a Japanese harp. One leg in water and one on ground to symbolise the interdependence of the two.
Same picture as the second one above but photoshoped to lighten the shadows.
A must visit in spring when the cherry blossom and wisteria will be in flower. The garden is in East Gosford and entry is free.
