Morikami Japanese Gardens

Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach. Walk the quiet paths and feed the giant koi.

Walk the winding paths through six styles of Japanese garden around a big lake, with stone lanterns, waterfalls, bamboo groves and a bonsai collection. Stop at the rock garden and sit quietly for a few minutes, then feed the giant koi and see who can get the biggest one to come over. The photo to get: you on one of the bridges with the lake behind.

About this place

In the early 1900s, a group of young Japanese farmers started a farming colony here called Yamato. Most of them eventually left, but George Morikami stayed, farmed his whole life, and donated his land so it could become a park. The museum tells the colony's story.

The gardens are called Roji-en, "Garden of the Drops of Dew," and each section is inspired by a different period of Japanese garden design. The café overlooks the lake and is a nice spot for lunch. Check the website for hours, since it's closed some days.
