The Beauty of Japanese Gardens

I have several sections completed in the garden. It is sort of broken up into separate rooms, and I've worked on completeing a room or two each year. It's getting to look like a whole now. Last year we had some big Summer storms that trashed some sections, but it made us rework some things that look better now. I know this Spring I will be finishing a bridge I started last year. I also need to do a small rock garden on a hillside. Not sure what thats going to turn out like, but I'll need to be rock-hunting again.
So anyway, it's just computer research time. Take a look at the other article if you like, Maybe it'll be what you need to start thinking about garden season too.
