III. Statement

Dear commissioner,

As you have brought to our attention; you have asked for a statment explaining our garden. Well we have made you this special spirtiual garden for you and who ever want to vist. Our garden is made for the warmer regions of China. Why? Because our banana trees will not surive in any other types of conditions. Also the tree peonies (the pink flowers in our garden) are resevered for royalty. But we put it in our garden because it is such a beautiful flower. The one plant that you will recognize is the bamboo tree. Mainly because it is and has been used in every tradtional garden. Now see the chinese liked the way the bamboo's leaves made a rustling sound in the cool breeze. Most of the gardens where used to escape from reality or for spiritual matters so they would have some where to get away.As I designed the water I kept in mind that the water is there to help relax and to show natural beauty. The pond has a building in it so you could relax and look around to see all of the garden and all of the life in it.
