Synopsis

Now out of print, please see isbn 9780754834953 for new edition 2020. Giving historical context, this book explores the main Japanese gardening styles: pond gardens, dry gardens, tea gardens, stroll gardens and courtyard gardens. It provides all of the essential information on standard features, composition and key themes of each of the five styles, and then for each one presents the planning and construction of a sequence of three project features, resulting in a final garden composition in that style. The plant directory that follows details the various types of plants, while the final section explains the maintenance of the Japanese garden including a practical calendar of care. Whether you want to develop a stroll garden in a large natural space, or small dry garden with a pathway, raked gravel and minimal plants and rocks, A Practical Guide to Japanese Gardening is your essential companion.
