It's the season when London's streets and gardens are flanked by beautiful blossoming trees with elegant white and pink blooms. While cherry blossoms are found in some sprawling gardens, you'll also find a mix of strikingly similar magnolias and blackthorns, too. And it's these trees that brought me to the idea of hanami.
Derived from the word hana (meaning flower) and mi (translating to watch), this concept of flower viewing is a pretty idea that can be used to frame your Japanese garden.
