Japanese inspiration for garden design has a long standing tradition given its goal to create serenity, peaceful design with shape and form through interesting layers and foliage.
You’ll definitely need to fine-tune your horticultural skills if you plan on cloud pruning yew or pine trees( known as the art of niwaki) and to keep tidy edges against the stones but a Japanese inspired garden can be so rewarding.
Recreating Japanese gardens from a typical cottage look can be easily doable by adding just a few small features… Rockery, flowing water, steppers, chimes, mini stone temples and plants like fern pines, maples, boxwood, juniper, acacia, moss mounds, camellia Japonica and cherry blossom.
