Summary

Traditional Japanese gardens combine aesthetics with ethics, beauty with philosophy in a celebration of the natural world. A Japanese garden is the natural world made miniature: rocks represent mountains, ponds represent seas. Natural and man-made elements combine to create a garden that, while natural, is not wild. In this beautiful, full colour package, Monty Don and Derry Moore guide us through the history and beauty of Japanese gardens, from the famous cherry blossom season to the magnificence of autumn colours.
