The series covers my life as an Aussie expat living in Japan. From Landscape gardening techniques to tree pruning, planting and propagation, I pay close attention to the methods used in Japan and in Japanese style gardening. Japanese culture, tradition and specialized techniques all play a part in garden design. I'm specializing in traditional stone wall construction and pruning techniques, and I'll also cover many interesting cultural experiences along my journey.
Я в восторге от японских садов! Я в восторге от ваших стен из красивых и не обработанных камней ! Они неповторимы ! К моему большому сожалению от моего города до ближайшего гранитного карьера более 1500 км. С уважением из Сибири,Владимир Мой город - Nizhnevartovsk .
So amazing I look forward to visiting Japan one day. For now I will try to enjoy what I can where I am. I’m working on my own landscape now looking for inspiration this video was great!
Ive ruined so many pines lmao but i love japanese trees. My one complaint to how the pines are done is that after its pruned it looks sick from so many needles being removed. Pinus pungens and pinus virginiana are 2 natives that i love to toy with. Ive did well on having my little piece of japan in Appalachia.
Thanks for sharing these techniques with stones/rocks. I lived in Japan for many years and now in my retirement years am developing a sort of Japanese garden. I love the elements of simplicity and peace that seem to flow from the Japanese style of garden. I live in the pacific northwest and am trying to incorporate the natural plants such as salad and ferns within my garden. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Many thanks for this video, I just start with a 15 years pine, and I´m doing formative pruning to start. It has some long and very thin branches with few needles in it, should I prune those or keep the same method with those too in this formative state? Thanks 🙏
wow, your home is amazing! such a relaxing mountain aesthetic.. if you continue to make videos you will undoubtedly reach 1M subs given the time, the videos are just so beautifully done.
As a geologist working in a region with one of the world's oldest bedrock I find the Japanese rocks beautifully alien. They are so young! And so soft! River rocks here are way more round and have a smooth finish instead of the volcanic corse structure of more easily eroded japanese rocks. Rocks with the shape seen in the video would here be seen as coming from the till. But in the end, all rocks get more beautiful wet
