Surround yourself in nature's splendour

The gentle slope of the Residence Lawn offers a picturesque location for your picnic party surrounded by the splendour of the Garden's cultivated beds.

The Residence Lawn is perfect for spread out picnic parties and family gatherings.

There is plenty of open space for the kids to run around, bordered by some of the Garden's beautiful flowers.

Four seasons at the Residence Garden

In autumn, the Residence Garden's Japanese maples create a patchwork of gold, russet, and merlot. In winter, the garden's camellias add vibrancy to the landscape. In springtime, cherry blossoms make a carpet of petals.
