Reseña del editor

Japanese gardens have a matchless allure all their own--so still and with a profound sense of beauty. Spending time in that peaceful environment, lost in reverie and contemplating nature, refreshes and renews the spirit. All the more amazing, then, that you can construct such a special place so quickly! A brief history will acquaint you with the traditional features that make these Zen-like spaces unlike any other, and guide you through planning, materials, plants and pruning, and special additions. Begin the transformation in a single weekend by creating a Japanese garden in an old sink for a balcony or patio; constructing trellis panels using bamboo; or turning a water basin and stone lantern into a focal point. It takes two weekends to add a zigzag bridge as a centerpiece to an iris garden or put up an arbor as a viewing position. In less than a month you can enjoy a vertical garden on a sleep slope, a heart-shaped pool with rockery, a waterfall right to edge of the patio area, and a tea garden! The work lasts only a short time--the pleasure, forever. A Main Selection of Garden Book Club.
