'A Japanese Garden? No, it's a West Virginia hillside and has the best landscape gardner in the world--mother nature. Most gardeners would reject every species of plant in this two-acre exposure of Pocono sandstone but nature has work for all of them. The area is located a few miles from WVU's Terra Alta Biological station in Preston County. It is used as a natural labratory for the study of plant succession, the process where by nature in time clothes all bare areas with a covering of vegetation.'
