Photos of Ponds at Ladew Topiary Gardens
Ladew Gardens Web Site
On 6/14/06, we went to Ladew Topiary Gardens. I took over 100 pictures. I uploaded 57 of
those photos, the ones showing various ponds, koi, fountains, and animals. I did not include
regular garden and topiary photos because it would require too much work and space (and is not
relevant to ponds). It was a bright day so I am not sure why some photos are dark. Here they are
in order or our walk!

These photos were taken in the Iris Garden. It has a really long stream ending in a koi pond. My
brother took the camera and kind of went crazy taking photos of the koi. They had some
expensive, purebred koi, not just mixed koi. There were a few comets in with the koi.:
