Stirling ‘Zen’ Garden

A unique Japanese inspired garden designed to harmonise with ‘shou sugi ban’ cladding used in a recent extension to the house.

The tranquil yet stimulating space creates a beautiful entrance as well as offering alluring views from both inside and out.

Planting is restrained but a feature is the stunning cloud-pruned trees and the clusters of meticulously clipped topiary domes.

Carefully positioned rocks, several pots and a small water bowl, all features in traditional Japanese gardens, add to the ambiance.
