      Very pretty! Is that by chance fireweed bordering the pathway?

      Yes, it does look like a Dutch windmill, albeit a miniature one! ;-)

      The windmill at Kingsbrae Garden is a genuine, functioning Dutch windmill [1/3 scale] that was commissioned from a Dutch company when the Garden opened in 1998. It draws water up from the lower pond and circulates it through a wooden sluice and rocky stream to the upper pond, so as to keep the ponds fresh. Another intgeresting thing about the windmill is that is the style normally used for grain mills in Holland, but since the water windmills are quite utilitarian, this one was re-purposed by the Dutch company--much more picturesque!

      There is no fireweed at KG; those are mini astilbe along the pathway.
