‘The Well’ Spotlight… summer 2012


Our Japanese Gardener & Designer,  Toru Kawamura is the creator of our beautiful serene Japanese gardens with koi pond and waterfall at Well Within Spa. He remembers when the ground was being broken and the first large stone put in place, for what is now the naturally peaceful and delightfully balanced Zen Garden that we all enjoy. Toru appreciates being in nature for inspiration and the physical challenge of manifesting his creative spirit in the vast details of our gardens. His father was a stone mason in Japan and you see that influence in our equisite stone work at Well Within. It took many months to complete his design and he still carefully tends to the living things he created semi-annually. Toru works in the greater Bay area, designing, landscaping and maintaining gardens in his artful yet traditional way. We are grateful he does!
