Japanese garden

[To_paul]

I’ll try a little description of the Japanese Garden from
Museum of Natural Sciences “Răsvan Angheluţă” Galati.
From 1946 until 22 December 1989 there is only the cult of personality in Romania, then the country gradually returned to democracy and the new authorities began to align themselves with the democratic values. After 1990 the western countries offered assistance and guidance especially in the education and culture sector. In the city of Galati the naval propeller factory was operating, which was equipped with machine tool from Mazak. and technology Nakashima Propeller Co., Ltd. acquired since communism, following negotiations and visits to Land of the Rising Sun. In this context, the local public authority decided to create a new attraction point inspired by the culture of the Far East which would be called “Japanese Garden”.

The Japanese garden is located in a small natural depression located on the east side of the botanical garden. It was inaugurated in June 1999. The design and development started in 1992, thus delimiting the 600 sqm perimeter of the future lake, after excavating the soil, the lake bed was paved with stone brought from the riverbed of the Vrancei mountains. , the edges of the lake and the small island were raised with granite extracted from the quarries in the Dobrogea Mountains, old mountains of about 300-400 million years, with that type of stone the bridge and waterfall were built.

The trees for planting were transferred from the nursery of the state forestry service located in the area of ​​Rachelu locality in Tulcea county. The following tree species are planted around the lake: Platycladus , Paulovnia, Sophora, Creeping Juniper and Japanese Maples in the south. The Japanese garden also has a small island on the west side, the access to the island is made on a granite slab, as soon as you step on the island you come under a contorted Pinus nigra which is flanked by small shrubs of cotoneaster horizontalis, in front of which there is a stone sculpture entitled TIME .

The range of shrubs includes: Japanese quince, Berberis bushes, hibiscus syriacus and Hawaiian hibiscus, forsythia and an amorpha located near the vegetation of typhaceae from the last step of the waterfall that flows into the lake. After passing the watercourse stepping over the three flat granite stones you will come to a stone sculpture depicting the Torii Gate, after passing the Thuja orientalis and the small Japanese quince and you will be greeted by a by a Buxus Sempervirens guarding the Dragon statue.

Then you will see a salix hakuro and another small Japanese quince , immediately appears the shrub of cotoneaster horizontalis that extends towards the stone edge of the lake follows the green bamboo and the group of maples then another green bush of juniper, follows a free area from where you can see Japanese carp swimming in the lake, in the middle of the lake there is a stone lamppost that was surrounded by lotus and water lilies.

Sit for a moment on one of the two wooden benches and watch the Japanese Garden,

then follow the cat steps printed on the granite stone and discover the Garden yourself. If it is not as I described, please correct me!

Thank you for sharing all of these detailed photos along with the garden @To_paul Nagashima is a famous propeller company in Okayama, Japan! Why did they invest in building that garden?

[To_paul]

Hi @Nyainurjanah

if I knew I had to write so much, I would walk about three kilometers away from the garden, not even seeing it. I said there was no garden.
I made a photo gig and walked and crawled under the trees after the cat to see if it catches fish …
Thanks a lot and I’m glad you wrote

[To_paul]

in the city there is a shipyard, on the ship must be propellers. @TonyAlexander ,
the communist party decided to set up in the 70s a factory of castings and propellers.
Communist Romania bought technology from those two Japanese companies Nagashima and Mazak
A factory was built in the city exactly like Nagashima from Okayama,
Romanian engineers and technicians went to school with the Japanese CNC machines on the spot in the 1970s, in Japan, from other delegates were part of Romanian party officials, and after the fall of communism in 1989 the garden was made by the Romanian people who visited Japan
Communist countries were under the embargo of high-tech products
How is North Korea and Cuba now
If you now want to make a Japanese garden in the North Korea, you are shot in the head by the authorities
so it was in communist Romania.
I hope you understand now

There are about ten different sectors within the 18-hectare garden of the museum complex, I hope you don’t want me to start describing the flora and stones sector of the Caucasus. @user_not_found
Thank you very much

Hola @To_paul , estuve averiguando y lei que en los estanques del jardin hay una gran cantidad de peces Carpas o tambien conocidos como Kois, son muy coloridos y hermosos También es interesante que los turistas pueden comprar bolsitas de alimento para darles de comer a los pecesitos.

[To_paul]

hola amigo @Avraham_Jurado y para mí en el jardín toda la carpa japonesa es.
Pensé que había salmón allí
