Garden Study Tour -Learn Gardening at home

Tokyo Disney Sea Gardens

It's a little known fact that the Disney organisation is one of the greatest corporate patrons of horticulture in the world.

Disney theme parks are not only a place to escape, indulge fantasies and take thrilling rides, but these parks contain some of the best examples of horticulture and landscaping you will find anywhere.

Take a look at these images from Tokyo Disney Sea; and if you love gardening and plants, don't miss any opportunity to visit a Disney Park.
