I also grow bonsai trees, so I have a few specimens that I am sure will find their way into the garden somewhere. I saw several gardens on my last trip to Tokyo and you can see some of the inspiring photographs I took <a target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none" href="http://www.gare.co.uk/japan/index1.html">here</a>. I particularly like trained black and white pines and clump azaleas.</font></span></p> <p><span lang="en-gb"><font size="2" face="Verdana">You can find many sites dedicated to Japanese gardens on the internet, even quite a few in the UK. But actually tracking down down a source of all the required materials can present quite a challenge. So on this web site I will try and identify the source of all my materials and provide appropriate contact information. Enjoy.</font></span></p> <p><font size="2" face="Verdana">If you are viewing this text, your browser lacks the ability to read frames. Don't worry, you can still enjoy our site.
