North Carolina Arboretum, Asheville

Can’t beat the Bonsai collection exhibited in very interesting fashion.

The minimalism fits.

I also liked the contrast provided by some of the colorful hardscaping.

While I’m normally a snob about sculpture in the garden, preferring the kröller-müller museum or the Norton Simon Museum, I saw some sculpture I enjoyed nestled amongst the plants.

A Sweetgum also provided an echo of human exclamation.
