Creating Japanese Design and Detail in the Western Garden
No matter how large or small your plot, this book is full of ideas for planting your own Zen garden and creating a natural haven of peace and tranquility, by using natural materials such as wood, bamboo, rocks and pebbles, emphasising plant and tree shapes and the varied colours of foliage and moss.
There are practical suggestions for locally available plants and materials, and an extensive directory suggests which plants to select to create the right effect. Climate zone maps also give additional information regarding the hardiness of the plants.
