sound bed

Sound Bed. These plants at ground level make their own sounds. Some, like the bamboos, grasses and palms, whisper in the wind. Others have pods that rattle when dry. On a still day, use your hands to stir the plants and see what noises they make (or enjoy the silence).

Bamboo Shade. Here the path passes under a shade made from bamboo pillars and wire supports on which climbing plants grow creating a cool zone. Some of the climbing plants have interesting scents and textures.
