A practical guide to planning and constructing a Japanese garden. Step-by-step instructions explain every facet, from displaying plants and rocks to mastering drainage and lighting, to creating bamboo fences and hedges.

From the Publisher: Covering the basic principles, aesthetics, and design practices of Japanese gardens, this book provides the practical information gardeners need to adapt these ideals to North American landscapes and sensibilities. Not a step-by-step construction manual, it teaches the fundamental principles of integrating house, garden, and landscape by making art from simple groupings of rocks, plants, and water and opening Japanese symbolism to elements with universal significance, such as water and paths. Included is an extensive encyclopedia of appropriate plants to use based on creating and defining particular eco-regions.
With contributions be numerous experts.
Goldberg reveals how to creatively bring bamboo home, teaching readers how to live with it indoors and outdoors--even how to grow their own bamboo. Her book includes bamboo projects, from a simple ladle to a more complex pergola for the garden. 150 color photos. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
