Publisher Notes
A Japanese garden, is, indeed, a thing of beauty and tranquility. Gustafson gives a multitude of ideas...for creating such a garden...the author discusses the function of cedar and bamboo fences, safety rails, retaining walls, gates, and tile roofs. In a chapter on rocks, boulders, and stones, he writes about their uses in bridges, walkways, and paths. Water is a large part of Japanese gardens, and Gustafson focuses on...ponds, waterfalls, and streams....There's a chapter on garden design and a list of suitable plants, trees, hedges, vines, and ground covers...--Booklist.
