Having lived in the Pacific Northwest, I am familiar with and greatly appreciate Japanese Garden Design! I have nurtured a native moss garden, a wondrous retreat on a hot summer day. Recently I moved to Texas and there is no moss in sight. But all of these principles can be used in my new garden. Thank you ❤
Thank you for mentioning the wabi sabi concept…that’s what I apply to my gardening design. You give ideas not just showing us what plants we should buy, which I don’t mind, but becomes tedious, after awhile.
I confess, I have never thought to equate the principles used in a Japanese landscape to enhance my own little garden. Thanks again for the nudge to do some cultural critical thinking!
Wonderful design principles to consider, definitely will help my little city garden. We have a first rate Japanese garden here in Portland, Oregon. I will look for these design elements when I visit next.
Thank you so much! One of my "bonus" daughters says she likes to listen to me as she falls asleep, trying to assure me that it's not because I'm boring!
I have 5 Japanese maples, native and Asian cherry trees, (no counting) Flying Dragon citrus, Magnolias, pear trees, roses, holly, and I am surrounded by my own and neighbors' 90 feet tall trees in front, behind and beside us. I have one moss place, three invasive poison ivy places we struggle to eradicate without poisons, and only one 20 x 17 feet concrete porch for benches and tables and a fire pit. I bought my first viburnum this year. I have an Asian bedroom for guest filled with art from a friend, and paintings from when we lived on Guam.

Having grown up in Texas, I remember thinking moss was rare and magical.
