We had a glimpse of the garden center as soon as we got off the bus.	First our guide took us through the garden.
The garden was more like a forest but with a huge variety of plants. This is a huge rock face with mosses.	This is abies koreana or Korean Fir, 'Silber perl' .
This larch is 20 years old.	This olive is called Quick Silver.
After looking at trees it was a surprise to come across this small arrangement in a pot.	A little woodland meadow.
This unusual spruce, picea acrocona, carries its cones upright.	These may be larch, Blue Sparkler, and Hortsmannns Recurva.
It wasn't all boreal forest; here is a cultivated spot.	We saw a small version of this maple, acer campestre, in the forest. It grows slowly because it has less chlorophyll.
