Japanese-inspired Gardens: Adapting Japan's Design Traditions for Your GardenFrom the renowned Brooklyn Botanic Garden -- called "the premier horticultural attraction in the region" by The New York Times and visited by more than 750,000 people each year eager to see its world-famous displays of plants from every climate and locale -- come these spectacularly photographed and highly acclaimed guides.

With lavish illustrations and unequalled advice, their experts will show you how to design a dazzling Japanese space. |
