Product Description
From the Author
You CAN have your very OWN Japanese garden
I have set out to give western gardeners and home owners the practical advice they need to make their own Japanese garden - in their own local environment using readily available materials. I am not trying to impose a blueprint based on Japanese gardens in Japan.
You CAN have your very OWN Japanese garden
I have set out to give western gardeners and home owners the practical advice they need to make their own Japanese garden - in their own local environment using readily available materials. I am not trying to impose a blueprint based on Japanese gardens in Japan.
I do believe that an appreciation of Japanese culture and a love of nature will help you to create a Japanese garden with "a Japanese soul". This is why I have included an introduction to the history and philosophy of Japanese gardens in the book. I hope it will inspire you to learn more about Japanese art and gain a greater appreciation of the peace and serenity Japanese gardens can give you.
But the book is first and foremost a practical guide with step-by-step instructions which are easy to follow, with drawings and photographs to illustrate the points made. I have included photographs of gardens I have designed myself during the last 20 years I have lived in Britain. I believe you can also enjoy the book if your interest in gardens is more general. I hope my book will give pleasure to all who read it.
