That is So prettty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, We visited your garden nearly a year ago on our way back from SA to Brisbane. We visited an old friend in the Lake Macquarie area after Dubbo and told her about your magnificent garden. She was impressed with the photos we had taken of your garden and said that it looked much better than the one she had visited in Cowra. Our friend and her twin sister are celebrating their 80th birthday in September this year but both have had major health problems in the last few years. We will be going down to help them celebrate their birthday. I was hoping that I might give them a surprise and take them to visit your garden, so I contacted a close family friend to find out if it was feasible for them to make the trip by road given their health status. Sadly my advice was that it may be too risky for them. So, I wondered if there is a DVD available of the Shoyoen Japanese Garden that I could buy to give to them so they may be able to better experience the beauty of your garden.

We visited your Japanese Garden on our way from Lightening Ridge to the Blue Mountains, whilst travelling around with our son, who now lives in Sydney. We are from Cornwall UK. We all loved the Garden it is beautiful, well done to everyone involved in the designing and careing of it.
Hi, i was wondering if you had any more pictures available of the japanese gardens, my fiance and i are considering having our wedding there (if possible). thanks.
I walked to the Japanese gardens with my 5yr old grandson mason, he has been there few times with his dad & little sister & loved it everytime. I found it so peaceful & relaxing. Felt like I was actually visiting Japan lol.
Is there still a weaping willow there overhanging the pond?
