Wabi-sabi is the Japanese concept of beauty in imperfection and simplicity. Found in every aspect of our lives, outdoors it is an appreciation of natural beauty and how the elements can soften, decay, and leave its mark on our surroundings.
Rather than striving to keep paving pristine and garden borders immaculate, this concept is all about welcoming the formation of moss and lichen, the patination on metal and the gentle shaping of shrubs and trees by prevailing winds and shifting soil. Letting flowers and crops self-seed and rainwater pool in natural depressions within boulders and the landscape, our surroundings are gently altered in harmony with nature.
