The
path is bordered by various, densely planted white blooming or white fruiting
shrubs such as jasmine, serviceberry, deutzia, snowberry, cherry laurel and bird
cherry. Three cherry trees grow by the entrance to the Moon Garden. Under
them are planted white and blue flowering perennials and bulbs, such as bellfower,
hosta, snowdrop anemone and blue-eyed Mary, Siberian bugloss, Japanese anemone,
Chinese bellflower, star of Bethlehem, bleeding heart and astrantia (great masterwort).
| Positioned among the shrubs,
partially obscured from view, are several sculptures carved from white marble
and alabaster. Following the spiral path - in counter clockwise direction
- one will find at its centre a mirror pond with white water lilies. On
the perimeter of the spiral there are three alcoves - small areas surrounded by
shrubs with mirror ponds at their centre, where visitors can retreat and reflect. top
