The half-mile trail that rings the Botanical Garden winds past several other gardens, including the Yao Japanese Garden, the entrance to which is framed by a traditional covered wooden gate. Inside the gate is a well-executed garden incorporating modern and traditional Japanese features. The garden has special events throughout the year - a Mothers' Day Open House, plant sales, and its largest event, Garden d'Lights. A holiday light festival that extends from late November through early January from 4 to 10pm nightly, Garden d'Lights often includes music or other happenings. No pets, bicycles, or skateboards are allowed in the garden.
