OUTINGS
Anderson Japanese Gardens - Rockford, IL
"A Japanese garden is designed to allow the guest to reflect upon the beauty of nature, and in doing so, be led away from the stresses of everyday life. The serenity one feels in the garden is meant to instill a sense of calm that enables our guests to find a place for quiet meditation and reflection." (Excerpted from the Personal Walking Tour Guidebook)
