Maple Spring Nursery and Gory’u Japanese Gardens

Maple Springs Nursery is a must-visit destination in the Seven Valleys for plant lovers, gardeners and anyone seeking inspiration in a beautiful natural setting. Home to more than 250 varieties of Japanese Maples, as well as an extensive collection of conifers, shrubs and cold-climate trees, the nursery offers thousands of plants to discover.

A standout feature of the property is its evolving Japanese Garden, a stunning showcase inspired by the beauty and tranquillity of traditional Japanese landscape design. Visitors can explore a carefully crafted environment featuring ponds, streams, waterfalls, rockeries, ornamental stones, gravel gardens, handmade bridges and islands. Together, these elements create a peaceful and immersive experience that reflects the harmony found in Japan's most celebrated gardens.

The garden's vision grew from the natural attributes of the site itself. Existing waterways and picturesque borrowed scenery provided the perfect foundation for creating an authentic Japanese garden. Through the addition of thoughtfully selected plantings, traditional ornaments, pathways and landscape features, that vision has taken shape as a unique attraction for visitors to enjoy.

At the heart of the garden is the concept of Goryu, the Japanese word for "confluence" or "where waters meet". The result is a tranquil destination where nature, artistry and Japanese garden traditions come together to create a truly memorable experience.
