Design Statement: One should be able to find them, when walking and looking to the clouds and sky, yet also in front and below. As Ginkgo trees are known for longevity and resilience, their leaves share connecting narratives.
The shape of the encompassing Ginkgo leaf represents hope, peace, and strength. The two parts of the Ginkgo leaf symbolize the balance of variance energies in relationships, such as love and patience, or freedom and unity.
The creation of Ginkgo Garden forms with three leaves representing I Love You. The layering of Spring into the layering of Autumn, signifies the changing yet everlasting Love and Friendship between friends throughout the seasons, and the shared connection with others and nature.
