Overview
An Oriental garden is a state of mind rather than a place, an environment where reflection and peace are gently encouraged, an essential haven from anxieties. Designing, planting, and maintaining an Oriental garden is well within reach with experts from seven leading gardens to guide you. Here is what you'll find in the most complete and user-friendly handbook to Oriental gardening ever devised:. Plant Selector: Select from more than two hundred plants used in Oriental gardens and read remarkable detailed information on how to grow them - including evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs, flowering and foliage plants, mosses and bamboos, and the inanimate items that complete the Japanese garden: bridges, sculptures, walkways, and fences. Garden Design: Turn a group of plants and ornamental elements into an Oriental garden using scale, color, and texture. Included is all you need to know to create stroll gardens, tea gardens, waterfalls, and ponds.Book Details
