Bring a mini Japanese garden into your home--whether as a
stress-reducing desk accessory, interesting centerpiece or beautiful
addition to any space!
Bring the tranquility of Japanese garden design into any space in your
home or office. Miniature Japanese Gardens shows you how to create
simple Japanese-style container gardens using inexpensive plants and
materials that are available everywhere!
A detailed plan of each "garden" provides a basic template, along with
information about plant types and containers. The container itself can
be an old pot, ceramic bowl, or just about anything you might have lying
around. Such "found" objects lend themselves to the Japanese art of
wabi-sabi--the beauty of imperfection. Add rocks and other elements to
produce mini Zen gardens that bring a relaxing vibe to any interior
space.
Miniature Japanese Gardens contains step-by-step instructions and
photos of over 40 different projects, including:
- Kokedama (moss ball)
- A miniature bamboo grove
- A variety of bonsai trees
- And many more!
Plus, get inspired by accompanying photos of the Japanese landscape.
While you may not be able to have a waterfall in your house, you can
channel the same sensation with the help of just the right bonsai plants
from this book. Miniature Japanese Gardens will appeal to gardeners,
Zen students and small space enthusiasts alike!
