Sunken Garden


Sunken Garden is one of the most beautiful places in Lincoln that you could go see. As you walk in there is a welcome center that tells you about the place on a television. The ground was individual bricks and some were dedicated to people or had the names of people who had made donations to the school. There vivid colors of the flowers were gorgeous. There were yellow, reds, pinks, and yellows in the lower part of the garden. There were also two strategically placed koi fish ponds that contained koi fish of all sizes. Some of them were black, some were white, some were orange, and some were all three colors. The tops of the ponds were covered with lily pads, that were easily accessible for the fish to hide under. I went with a couple of girls from class and the best part was one of them was trying to touch one of the koi fish and every time she would stick her hand in the water and get close to it, the fish would swim away. My favorite parts of the garden had to be the waterfall, which was kind of small but, relaxing and beautiful at the same time. I also liked the "healing garden,"it was very calm and serene. In the middle of a sea of white flower was a huge statue. I did not think that the garden would be that interesting, but it was actually kind of nice.
