Japanese garden Březová–Oleško, Japanese garden in Březová-Oleško, Czech Republic.

The Japanese garden Březová-Oleško is divided into two sections. The older, smaller Garden of Three Gates covers about 350 m² in front of the house, with a yin-yang motif set in paving and three living gates formed by pairs of Canadian hemlocks and hornbeams. The larger Garden above the River, 1,100 m², is a strolling garden with a gate guarded by stone lions, Japanese lanterns, a stream, a koi pond and a tea house.

Václav Wiesner bought the plot in 1937 for recreation and planted deciduous and coniferous trees in the style of an English park, most of which still grow there. His son Václav Wiesner Jr. and his wife Jaroslava Wiesnerová later gave the garden a Japanese form with bonsai, shaped trees, clipped lawn, winding paths, stones and water. The smaller Three Gates Garden was begun in 1994; the larger Garden above the River followed. In 2016 the garden became an associate member of the Union of Botanical Gardens of the Czech Republic.

The garden's name comes from the village of Oleško in Březová-Oleško, on the red hiking trail toward Vrané nad Vltavou. In the Garden of Three Gates, a pair of yin-yang symbols is set into the interlocking paving, and the three gates are living arches: two pairs of Tsuga canadensis and one of Carpinus betulus. The Garden above the River has a tea house, a stream, a koi pond and a gate with wooden double doors guarded by a pair of stone lions, opened symbolically each morning and closed each evening.

The garden lies in Březová-Oleško, about 2 km from Davle, on the red hiking trail toward Vrané nad Vltavou, at 349 m above sea level. As of June 2020 the whole garden is permanently closed to the public, so it cannot be visited; the site is private and no tours are offered.

The older, smaller section is the Garden of Three Gates, about 350 m², laid out in 1994 in front of the house. Its three gates are living arches: two pairs of Canadian hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) and one of common hornbeam (Carpinus betulus). A yin-yang motif set into the interlocking paving and a single bonsai complete it.
