Tapped to expand on the classic I.M. Pei courtyard garden of the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, landscape designer Marc P. Keane created the Tiger Glen Garden, inspired by the ancient Chinese parable "Three Laughters of the Tiger Glen".

Palm fiber twine is strong and resistant to rot. It is used in Japan for protective and decorative purposes.

A favorite view of Keane's: the stone river.
The Japanese red pine has a well-pruned structure; the wooden walkways are made from Ipe.
Handpicked stones symbolize the three men in the ancient Chinese parable that inspired the garden.
Tiger Glen was awarded the gold prize from A'Design in Como, Italy, as well as the International and American Architecture awards.
