Here is the just-completed Japanese courtyard garden in Vermont, Melbourne. There is a 4m long gentle running stream, with stepping stones alongside and across the stream. I have planted it out with Nandina and Himalayan weeping bamboo. Another feature is the natural bamboo screen.

Here’s a walkthrough of it…

… and here are some photos…

Some words from my clients:

What a wonderful feature you have created for us.  It brings us so much joy to be able to sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful stream and surrounds.  A previous area of cracked concrete has been transformed into a spectacular Japanese garden.  It truly is a living work of art – our own restful piece of nature in suburbia.

Thank you so very much for your insight, work and professionalism.
