Japanese Garden, built by Graham and Howard Healey from Rhino Rock Gardens in East Peckham, who have won awards at Hampton Court. Main features are a faux tea house which disguises the railway fence at the bottom of the garden, and a water feature with cascades, a pebble beach and bridge. Original Japanese features include lanterns and a Koi Lady, as well as a beautiful Acer and an Ilex Crenata Cloud Tree among other plantsThere is not a published plan for this garden yet.
There are no plants in the wish list for this garden.
About me
I used to live in Poole, Dorset and was inspired, or should I say spoiled, by Compton Acres - especially the Japanese garden.
I now live in Kent and commute to London for work, so I don't have time to look after a garden, but I managed to get Graham and Howard Healey from Rhino Rock Gardens in East Peckham to build me a wonderful Japanaese garden, so I can relax and enjoy it in my spare time.
I really just need to know enough to keep it looking good, but I also love the taste of home-grown veg, so am trying to get an allotment, and would need to learn how to make a success of that as well.
