Product Description

A practical introduction to the traditions of Japanese Zen gardens. Using natural materials such as wood, bamboo, rocks and pebbles, and emphasizing the value of shape in trees and shrubs and the subtlety of colour through the varied greens of foliage and moss, the book explains how western plants and materials can be used to achieve the natural, minimalist look so beloved by Japanese garden designers. There are instructions and tips for selecting plants and materials which are readily available, as well as plant lists and climate zone maps to aid western gardeners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serene Gardens- a serene read, 12 May 2004

By A Customer

I've had this book a few years now and I always keep it at hand to inspire me, it is well written, has good practical advice along with clear illustrations and wonderful photographs showing both established Japanese gardens and Western gardens in the Japanese style, there's even a few pages at the end describing various plants ,trees and shrubs that go well with this style.
If you're planning a Japanese garden - get it, or even if you just like to peruse beautiful books with inspiring pics - get it, you will love it.
