I love all your video's always such fantastic information and always such a calming voice . Brilliant as always looking forward to more coming this year!!
This is our first year in a new house and my first year of learning about gardening. I love your channel and that you talk about the symbolism of Japanese gardening and present it in such a calm and informative way.
Do you ever see a few strings spanning across a short section of the foot bridge? I saw one in a video on FB and wondered if it had a purpose or was put there in whimsy. People had to maneuver to walk through it.
I would be very interested in how bonsai is integrated in the Japanese garden culture. What I took from the previous videos is the impression that these two things don't belong together. But actually they should.
I haven't really seen them together that often. Maybe as a display on a pedestal near a seating area. The pruning and training are similar to what the gardener might be going for in a specimen tree in the garden, but they also have to envision the whole scene working together, not just the focus on a specimen tree like in bonsai.
@@ShizenStyle This brings me to a follow-up question: Do the Japanese actually make bonsai, and if so, where do they keep them if not in the garden? It is hard to imagine that two such "green" cultures, so deeply rooted in Japan, could be so unrelated.
Thank you as always for a sublime visual tour and gentle instruction
My pleasure!

I'm glad you like the channel! It's nice to have a blank canvas to play with. Take your time exploring all of the many options and styles out there.
Well explained. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
👍🏼
Informative and nicely presented - thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Going to be placing stepping stones in the shallow bit of the pond I'm digging shortly. So nice to see all of the reference photos. :)
Nice! Do you have a solid clay base underneath, or something to help stabilize it?
