We took the 45-minute garden tour.
The docent told us that the idea of
installation artist Robert Irwin was
to create a counterpoint of color and
texture to the buildings. He calls the
Central Garden "a sculpture in the
form of a garden aspiring to be art."
See these trees that are actually
sculptures. The bottoms are
bark-colored iron. The top plants are
real -- pink bougainvillea when they
bloom.

We learned that there are more
than 500 varieties of plants in the
garden. The shrubs and flowers are
arranged by color and texture – not
the normal way such a garden
would be ordered. The rocks look
attractive set among the greenery.

But there's another purpose, our
docent said. "Listen." A stream flows
through the rocks. And the boulders
and stones have been placed in the
stream bed to create a "sound
sculpture."
