Creating a Japanese Garden
by Peter Chan (9781856486965)

Enjoy the understated simplicity and dignified beauty of a Japanese garden in your own backyard. Here you can immerse yourself in the history and philosophy of these carefully designed miniature worlds, then draw inspiration from a colorful photographic tour of outstanding Japanese gardens. Finally, let a master designer take you one step at a time through the process of creating one of these unique gardens for yourself. Choose one of three beautiful designs--Courtyard Garden, Strolling Garden, Zen Garden--depending on your space, purpose and aesthetic sensibility. For each project, fully illustrated, nontechnical instructions are provided. You'll be introduced to the design and construction considerations of a wide assortment of garden elements, including rocks, water, plants, fences, ladders, stepping stones, lanterns, and gates. Tranquil but tough, a Japanese garden is built to last. Transform your yard for years to come into a meditative space that captures nature with unparalleled artistic flair.
