Japanese Gardens

Creating a unique, authentic Japanese Garden within a western setting.

Gardens in Japan and China have always been thought of as an essential part of the tradition and culture of those two countries.    They are seen very much as an art form to be constructed with spiritual enthusiasm.    Contained within them are all the basic elements of nature, symbolised and represented to express certain deep ideas and thoughts.

This course covers the philosophy and spirituality of the Japanese Garden and progresses right through design, then building to maintenance.
