Japenese Garden. Japanese gardens are generally classified according to the nature of the terrain, either tsuki-yama ("artificial hills") or hira-niwa ("level ground"), each having particular features. Portland Japanese Garden is a proud participant in Arts for All, making the beauty and serenity of the Garden accessible to low-income families and individuals who receive food stamps (SNAP).
Winding paths and benches invite you to view the garden slowly and mindfully, in all of its detail - stones, water, lanterns, bridges, buildings, plants and animals.
Our Japanese Garden Centre, based in Kent, is the UK's only specialist centre dedicated to contemporary Japanese design, construction, plants and materials.
Dry landscape gardens lack one elements that ties together all other styles of Japanese garden: the water. We now require visitors to pre-book prior to their visit to us. SOCIAL DISTANCING… The Japanese garden is a miniature and idealized view of nature and hence no matter how small space your garden is, you could always implement this style of garden.
