A Japanese inspired garden outside a small Reiki therapy room (both in progress!) within a small family garden. The garden is inspired by the Courtyard and Tearoom styles combined. It will contain a stone lantern, tsukubai (stone water bowl) and low, single bench with a woven bamboo fence, a simplified natural wood Tori gate entrance, gravel, stones and a few choice plants. Outside this enclosed section, a corner border can be seen which hopefully harmonises with the smaller Japanese Reiki room entrance garden. A dream is coming true!Sally-Ann Livingston's garden plan

The gardening project I am currently working on
Having moved into our first proper house - with a front and back garden - I am setting up a small Reiki therapy room in the extension. Outside this I am creating an equally small entryway garden with a very Japanese feel. Having acquired a few very good b
