JAPANESE GARDENS: A JOURNEY (MONTY DON)

Traditional Japanese gardens combine aesthetics with ethics, beauty with philosophy, contemplation with delight. A Japanese garden is the natural world made miniature: rocks represent mountains, ponds represent seas. Natural and man-made elements combine to create a garden that, while natural, is not wild. In this full-colour book, Monty Don and Derry Moore guide us through the history and beauty of Japanese gardens, from the famous cherry blossom season to the magnificence of autumn colours.
