At the entrance to the Gardens is the beautiful and iconic Peacock Fountain. Made of bronze and marble. Standing 25-feet tall, this large circular fountain with a central column that sprays water in all directions, surrounded by a ring of smaller fountains. It is adorned with herons, playful dolphins, and large lily leaves.
