Featured Locations:

Lotus Viewing Area ¡V A favorite of photographers, this large open space is surrounded by lotus ponds. Whether strolling under the sun or sitting beneath a willow, this is where you can admire our namesake flowers. A perfect spot for large events or weddings!


¡§Ai Lian¡¨ (Lotus Lover) Gazebo
¡V The oldest structure on the property, the Gazebo is an ideal resting spot, where you can enjoy a cooling breeze and behold picturesque views across our natural lake. The sign over the entrance was carved from Chinese characters written by a descendant of Confucius for Lotus Gardens!

Guan-Yin Temple ¡V Guan-Yin is celebrated as a symbol of benevolence in Chinese culture. Constructed from a huge wine barrel, this building shelters a marble likeness of Guan-Yin. The temple was blessed by a 103-year-old monk at its opening ceremony.


Teahouse ¡V After a walk in the summer sun, you can enjoy an iced or hot beverage in this rest area. We feature a variety of flower teas and simple desserts as well as a plethora of gift ideas. Come take a look!


¡§Yu-Ling¡¨ Pavilion and Rose Garden ¡V The rose is the queen of flowers. Have a seat in the cool shade of this structure and let the roses and cypress trees keep you company.   


Lotus Flower Learning Center ¡V Newly added this year, this wall of information will house essential knowledge on lotus flowers and water lilies. We will continue to update this area as new information becomes available!


¡¯ Lotus Gardens requires a great deal of effort to maintain and make available to the public to enjoy. Please respect the garden and do not disturb any of the flowers or trees and do not enter restricted areas. Removing anything from the garden is prohibited. Thank you for your cooperation.
