Some of the different areas of the garden include the Hixson Family nature preserve (featuring over 70 different species of birds and an observation deck), the Evans Children's Adventure Garden (under construction - will include a 400 foot elevated boardwalk over a waterfall, mazes, treehouses, caves and climbing stones), the Japanese garden of Pine Wind (featuring the Joy Manning Scott Full Moon Bridge, arches, springs, ponds and ornamental stone in addition to wonderful Japanese maples and tree peonies), the amazing Weyerhaeuser Bonsai Garden with various specimens, Dierks Promenade, and the Singing Springs Gorge and Millsap Canopy Bridge.
