Description
Ms Margaret Abbott will explore the history, principles, elements and mystery behind the apparently simple but evocative designs of Japanese gardens, which, she says, are a total manipulation of nature. She will discuss the important elements of water, rocks, gravel, tea houses, bridges and trees. Her talk will be illustrated with examples from special gardens such as the Mytoi Garden on Martha’s Vineyard, the Japanese Tea Garden of San Francisco and the Adachi Museum of Art Garden, the most famous and awarded garden in Japan.
