The natural rock path converges from three directions, extending to the north, south, and east as it encircles a miniature forest garden. To the northeast, the ground is covered with moss and grasses, and the small trees growing there are deciduous, their branches following the will of the seasons, with leaves budding, growing, turning darker green, then to brilliant golds and scarlets, and then, brittle brown, falling to the ground and leaving bare branches to rustle in the winter winds. In miniature, these trees are exquisite, regardless of the season. To the west, a couple of fern trees grow, surrounded by small bushes with tiny, brilliant red roses blooming within thorny cages.
