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.
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.
