Japanese garden ideas(small/modern) In this video I am sharing my Japanese Zen garden I created in my backyard. Gardening is my passion and it has helped to heal me when I was suffering through a dark patch of my life. In this video I have created this Japanese garden using proportion, suitable plants and Japanese style ornaments. I firstly recommend designing everything on paper first by making a garden plan. Proportion is very important to the eye as it creates balance. I have used a bridge and lantern to create the Japanese feel to the garden.
By adding large rocks this creates a feeling of a natural landscape. I have also used a variety of different sized rocks to surround the plants and have created a dry creek bed under the bridge. The garden has a variety of elements and a wall sculpture to create interest. Gardening is a great way to heal your soul. If you would like to see my other videos go check out my gardening videos.
