Japanese Gardens - The largest outside Japan in Buenos Aires, Argentina - 4K - YouTube

Not many videos about the Japanese Garden in Argentina, but this one seems to be OK.

In case you don't know the place, it's quite an oasis in such a chaotic and (mostly) gray city —parks are mostly located in the fringes of the city and in wealthy neighbourhoods.

Hope you like it!

Japanese Garden Competition on Mini-Truck Beds in Toyama

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the event, with "light" as this year's theme. Some participants even crafted caves within their gardens. Additionally, a live demonstration of landscaping work featuring "Katsuragaki"—a unique bamboo fence used at Kyoto's Katsura Imperial Villa—will take place today.

Embedding river rocks in cement for dry riverbed?

Hello brain trusts, beginner japanese garden enthusiast here. Wanted to get your opinion for a low maintenance gravel area beneath a deck..

The idea is instead of digging, laying a weed mat and filling the area with rocks, and deal with weeds later on, we fill the gaps between the rocks with cement.

I haven't seen these used in japanese garden designs, safe to say it's not the norm.

My question is, as someone who has delved in this area for longer than I do, would you go against this idea, and why?

If you're potentially ok with it, would you have suggestions on how to make the rock design 'more japanese'?

Thank you 🙏

Japanese garden in Hague, Netherlands

I was lucky to see it open, as it is only available for viewing for a few weeks in spring and autumn. A friend of mine told me that’s because the moss is green only during this period.

This might be the calmest thing I’ve designed so far

I’ve been experimenting with calm/ambient desk pieces lately and wanted to combine incense smoke, warm lighting, and a samurai pose into one display.
