The “Garden of Dew” at the Las Vegas Zen Temple has ALL these elements.
In this article we reflect upon the Fig Trees within the Garden of Dew.
Mentioned over fifty times in Scripture, the fig tree was extremely important for both nutritional and economic reasons in ancient times.
These are present in the “Garden of Dew” with an abundance of fruit highly respected and desired within the Zen community.
Fig trees produce two crops every year!
That said as these fruits are a delicacy… We encourage you to book a trip to the Las Vegas Zen Temple for our Fig Festival
This is usually held in the Fall, between October and November.
