thank you for posting - it's something to dream about while the snow is still falling!

Thanks ! I just posted about location for a JM crimson queen in my Sun scorched yard. Maybe you can guide me.

I got interested in Japanese gardens when I worked for a Japanese landscaping company. I was the only Caucasian on the crew. That's all we did, design and install Japanese gardens.
The foreman and I worked weekends installing Japanese rock gardens. That's where I learned the art of rock placement. I loved it! Still do.

My first interest in Japanese gardens came from visiting the island, Madeira. They have amazing gardens and an oriental one inside too. I have made my own home's garden into a Japanese garden and have wrote an article on the subject with the focus of Japanese metal gates. Slightly unrelated to my company of gates, but it is for my blog.

Here is a link that might be useful: Japanese metal gates

Yama, check out my garden. It's not Japanese style, but I do have a lot of trees from Japan. The garden is always evolving, and has been for the last 35 years.
