The tranquility of a classic Japanese garden is yours to enjoy at home or in the office by marrying the Zen art of Bonsai with the popular container garden movement! The container itself can be an old pot, ceramic bowl, or just about anything you might have lying around. Such found objects lend themselves to the Japanese art of wabi-sabi, the beauty of imperfection. Miniature Japanese Gardens shows you how to create container gardens with step-by-step photos and architectural drawings of each project presented. A detailed floorplan of each garden provides a basic template as you experiment with different plant types and containers. Add rocks and other elements to produce Zen-like spaces that will enhance any interior. Photos of over 40 different container gardening projects; ranging from a kokedama (moss ball) to a miniature bamboo grove; and the amazing landscapes in Japan that inspired them will appeal to gardeners, Zen students, and small space enthusiasts alike!

"[Miniature Japanese Gardens] shows you how to create simple Japanese-style container gardens using inexpensive plants and materials that are available everywhere. Diagrams demonstrate how to organize the plants, and step-by-step instructions on how to build and care for your mini gardens." --Desire To Inspire blog "…this book is a great resource about bonsai plants for both newcomers and those experienced in this art." --Self Taught Japanese blog "…And what, to me, is even more important is that once one has read through these pages, and maybe tried to create a few micro-gardens, one can use one's favourite images--maybe taken on a trip to Japan--and construct a living memory." --Shakkei, the journal of the Japanese Garden Society of the UK
