Japanese garden ideas shouldn't be overlooked when planning an outdoor space. Instead of billowing borders and brightly coloured annuals, this type of design offers a simpler, more soothing feel. They tend to maintain their appeal throughout the seasons, too, and the style can be applied to small, urban gardens as well as larger plots.
Calm, considered, and deeply connected with the natural world, a Japanese-inspired approach to landscaping could easily become the next big garden trend. Visitors of this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show will have witnessed the wonders of Kazuyuki Ishihara's "Cha No Niwa – Japanese Tea Garden", and undoubtedly, its beauty will have influenced many to try a similar scheme at home.
