This is planted at the Lasdon Aboretoreum on Rte. 35 in Somers , New York. Park is open 8 am -4 pm.
Follow the main entrance road until you can make a right and follow the signs to the Chinese gardens.
This four-acre garden and pavilion symbolize the close bonds between Westchester County and its Sister City, Jingzhou, in the People's Republic of China. The Friendship Pavilion, a gift from that city, is the focal point of the garden. The classic Chinese structure was constructed in China, disassembled, and shipped to the United States, where it was installed by several craftsmen from China with the assistance of park staff. The pavilion surrounded by a developing culture garden with such native Chinese plantings as bamboo and Kousa dogwood, overlooking a picturesque pond with a stone dust pathway for meditation.
There is a small parking lot. After parking you will see a fenced in area and the path to the Chinese Gardens to the right. After following the path for 200 ft you will pass under a chinese gate, continue until you come to a pond. Turn right, follow path past pavilian and to a second gate. 10 feet past this gate across a wide open path, but in line with the gate there is a knarled tree and the letterbox is right in the trunk.
