Japanese Garden Boulder Placement at Meijer Gardens
For centuries, designers of Japanese gardens have placed special emphasis on boulders for their permanency.
Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park's Japanese Garden Designer Hoichi Kurisu visited a West Michigan rock quarry and selected the individual boulders based on qualities necessary for a Japanese garden: size, weathered appearance, interesting shapes and subdued coloring.
Kurisu and his team used these boulders to commemorate the foundational beginning of The Richard and Helen DeVos Japanese Garden at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Visit MeijerGardens.org or Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park's Facebook for updates on the new garden until its completion in 2015.

SWC Free Walk 138, Chilham Circular. 9/2/13.
This delightful 9.7 miler on the Kentish Downs incorporates a variety of scenery and provided welcome respite from muddier, lower level walks recently, though the brown stuff wasn't completely absent today.
Shortly after leaving the station and crossing over The Stour, there's a steady ascent across fields and then along field margins, flitting between The Stour Valley Walk and other paths.
There's a nice section of woodland walking in Eggringe Wood, one of the muddier sections of the walk, before descending for a possible lunch break at the Sole Street hostelry, which was closed today. This walker chose to refuel with some delightful views across the Crundale Downs.
Refreshed, there's another section of woodland walking prior to a descent into Eggarton, and so on to Godmersham Park, the former home of Jane Austen's brother, Edward.
The finale is a walk across fields and then along a quiet B road into the pretty village of Chilham, with its Tudor buildings and stately home.
(The tit seen just prior to lunch is believed to be a Marsh, and not a Willow, though they are difficult to separate).
Little Colnbrook | Penshurst, Kent
Penshurst, Tonbridge, Kent
If you fancy a relaxing break or a memorable family holiday in the beautiful Kent countryside, Little Colnbrook is likely to provide everything you are looking for!
Located in an idyllic spot and just a few minutes away down a quiet back lane from the quintessential English village of Penshurst, boasting one of the country's oldest ancestral homes, Penhurst Place, which has stood alongside the church with its famous Beckett Window for over six hundred years, Here in the village one can still indulge in afternoon tea, watch cricket played on one of the earliest English pitches or enjoy a locally produced meal at The Leicester Arms - considered to be one of the most picturesque in Kent.
You will never be short of things to do whilst staying at the cottage. Surrounded by countryside, latticed with walks from outside your door, yet within easy reach of glorious gardens, fairytale castles, miniature railways, animal parks, vineyards, golf courses and the stunning South Coast. Visit Hastings, where the traditional pier, seaside amusements, boating lake and crazy golf course remain as popular as ever and why not buy fresh fish off the boats to take back and enjoy an al fresco supper. The bright lights of London's West End are only an hour away from nearby Hildenborough station as are the ferry ports and the Channel Tunnel, should you fancy a Continental excursion.
The property is tastefully decorated in a mix of traditional and contemporary style with carefully chosen accessories to create a welcoming atmosphere. Entrance to Little Colnbrook is from the delightful front cottage garden into the rustic dining room which leads through to the kitchen. The sitting room with log burner is perfect for everyone to relax in after a day discovering the beauty of the area and the compact study off provides a quiet corner. Upstairs the master bedroom gives access to a twin bedroom making this an ideal family suite; there is a further double bedroom and bathroom on this floor. Outside, the flower and shrub filled rear courtyard patio overlooking unspoilt countryside, is a great place for a family barbeque or just to sit, possibly with a glass of wine, and enjoy the panoramic view.
Agent's Note: The twin bedroom is accessed via the main bedroom
