Japanese Gardens

A Question probably asked a million times, but....

18 years ago

Hi. This is my first posting on this forum; I usually hang out over in the Antique Roses forum. I'm guessing this question has been asked a lot but, since I'm not sure where to start, I'll ask it again: where is a good place to purchase japanese stone lanterns? I just completed a small pond (~7 feet by 5 feet) and I wanted to place a riverside lantern (is that the correct term?) that would arch over the water next to the pond. I haven't a clue as to which companies are good/reputable/have reasonable prices. Cherry Blossoms.com is one company I found via a Google search, but I know nothing about them. I live in Philadelphia, PA so if there are companies close by I wouldn't mind driving out to save on shipping costs! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I purchased some dishes and a kimono from Cherry Blossom Gardens, and I was very happy with the price, quality, and service they provided. Also check out Stone Forest, in New Mexico.

Thank you so much for the info. I also came across another company, Aguafina Gardens & Imports, which looks interesting. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with them. Again, thanks for the help!

In America at least I think Stone Forest is probably the best place to buy quality Japanese ornaments.
