It is one of London’s secret places, located in the heart of Holland Park – Autumn must be one of the best times to visit. The Japanese acers<\/a> have changed their leaves to every shade of red and orange.<\/p>\n

The Kyoto garden itself is entirely enclosed by bamboo fencing to protect the wildlife.\u00a0Living bamboo<\/a> screens rustle in the wind and a muster of peacocks greet you as you stroll along the paths,\u00a0the sound of the waterfall is so relaxing and the inquisitive peacocks parade and display their wonderful colours.<\/p>\n

The Japanese style garden<\/a> is one of the most inspirational and popular garden designs but how to achieve that serenity and balance when creating your own Japanese garden.
\nThere are certain aspects to consider before you start – always be focussed on what you would find in nature. Give space to the planting – you will create beautiful designs when the planted elements are surrounded by space to breathe – it’s all about balance in your design.<\/p>\n

\"Kyoto<\/a>

Water is a highly desirable element – waterfalls or natural ponds – never a fountain…the calming sound of the water is important. Japanese gardeners tend their gardens all year round – plants are chosen for their form and structure and year round interest.<\/p>\n
