Within the Community Garden section where the Burmese community member do their gardening. It was interesting and we were fortunate that there was a gardener there who did tell of some of their techniques
This is the building where they hold their Farmer’s Market
This structure is one of several sculptures. It represents the earth, wind and circle that is life. Created in 1981 it was downtown then moved here to the arboretum in 1996. A time capsule is buried beneath it.

These photos are very nice. I was on the tour but didn’t get to talk to the gardeners. I heard the museum was interesting but the rain chased us to the restaurant.
