Weeping Willow - Bloedel Reserve - WA Wall Decal

The weeping willow is near the water in the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, Washington, USA. This is a 150-acre forest garden. Although the Reserve includes a traditional Japanese garden, the Bloedels' approach for the rest of the property stands in contrast to that of 'Japanese gardens' which achieve their effects through the use of ornament. The Bloedel Reserve has both natural and highly-landscaped lakes, immaculate lawns, woods, a rock and sand Zen garden (formerly the swimming pool where poet Theodore Roethke drowned in 1963), a moss garden, a rhododendron glen, and a Reflection Garden designed with the assistance of landscape architects Richard Haag and Thomas Church. The Bloedels' French Chateau-style home including many original furnishings, is preserved as a Visitor Center.[ To see this on other products contact me at sandys@sandyspider.com
