This is the fifteenth in the series of photos of North American gardens. This month, we move a bit north from Houston to Fort Worth. (http://www.jgarden.org/gardens.asp?ID=375).

JGARDEN NEWS
JGarden Hits 3 Million - Since July 1, 2000, we have served up over three million page views. If you're new to JGarden, you can read more about how we started and where we came from at http://www.jgarden.org/features.asp?ID=73.

More Images for JGarden - Thanks to the tireless digital shutter of James Phillips, we've got another batch of photos for three North American gardens: San Diego Japanese Friendship Garden (http://www.jgarden.org/gardens.asp?ID=262); San Diego Tech Center (http://www.jgarden.org/gardens.asp?ID=422); and Point Defiance Park, Tacoma (http://www.jgarden.org/gardens.asp?ID=388). In addition to James' work, we have some photos sent by Susan Fitz for San Jose Japanese Friendship Garden (http://www.jgarden.org/gardens.asp?ID=269) and Lake Merritt Japanese Garden (http://www.jgarden.org/gardens.asp?ID=269).

JAANUS Art and Architecture Dictionary Launched - JAANUS is the on-line Dictionary of Japanese Architectural and Art Historical Terminology compiled by Dr. Mary Neighbour Parent. This site is an amazing resource for anyone interested in Japanese language terminology for art, gardens and architecture. Read more about it online.
