"(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
