A Cultural Treasure in South Florida

XplorMor Team found a hidden treasure in South Florida!  Morikami Japanese Gardens and Museum is a cultural gem situated in Delray, Florida.  Busy, bustling streets surrounding the park only help to intensify the surprise and wonder when first entering the gardens.  There is a small entrance fee, or for the enthusiast, various levels of annual membership may be purchased.  Either way, it's worth it.

A mile-long meandering trail winds through Roji-En, or "Garden of the Dew Drops", which consists of six main gardens that highlight 1000 years of Japanese garden design.  There are lakes, ancient moss-covered stone sculptures, waterfalls and streams.  Lush plants trained and sculpted into peaceful landscapes, meditative rock gardens, and water jugs set the tranquil Japanese scene.
