I've been trying to make a Japanese garden in my backyard for many years. It's supposed to be simple, yet, it takes a lot of work to make it look like it doesn't take a lot of work. That's the key. One thing I've managed to succeed in doing where many many other gardens outside of Japan fail, is in nurturing mossy rock that lasts all year even through the hot months of summer.

Other photos of my garden:

Very nice photo!!! I really look forward to seeing the progress of this. It would be so lovely to have your own Japanese garden. You'll have to keep us posted on the progress of this. Mossy rock - makes sense, it seems very essential to the look of the garden.

I am very happy you like my garden. I go to great lengths to have lush moss. I keep on expanding it.

This garden is beautiful. Do you know any place where I can get my hands on a Shidarezakura Cherry Blossom? I want one for garden. :)

You would want to get such a tree if it can thrive in the climate where you live. Cherry Blossom trees bloom early in spring and are susceptible to damage from late spring frosts. The site for growing Cherries should be slightly higher and sloped than the surrounding ground to prevent frosty air from settling in the low spots. The need full sun.

The availability of the sapling depends on what country or state you live in. Will you be staying where you are now or moving out? If you're planning on moving, you might want to wait until you have your new home.

I hope Cherry Blossom trees can thrive here in Texas. I am planning on looking around the area for a nursery and maybe they might know. I live in such a small town that most people don't know anything about foreign plants. If they can't survive down here then I'll just have to be satisfied with viewing them on the net. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. :) :iconturtlebatglompplz:
