Visiting Cornwall’s ‘The Japanese Garden’ to discover a sheltered and relaxing garden that is a surprising source of ideas and inspiration for tropical gardeners. I have always had an appreciation for the aesthetic of Japanese Gardens. The intricacies of a Japanese Gardens construction are so skillfully stitched together that there is a seamless sense of flow through the space. In this ‘Tiny Tropical on Tour’ video I show you how my visit to The Japanese Garden inspired some ideas for my own tropical garden space.

Lovely
Loved this thanks for sharing
It’s notable how in the beneficent Cornwall climate this exquisite creation is lush and vibrant in the depths of winter.
(For additional inspiration you might enjoy browsing my Japanese Gardens Around the World playlist.)
Cheers for the tour Craig. I love the order in a Japanese garden. The way everything is placed in a specific position with huge thought gone into everything. If you're ever near Newark there's a great Japanese garden open to the public. Couple of miles of the A1. Worth a visit. Cheers
Fantastic shots, thank you for this relaxing tour
Absolutly beautiful, my kind of zen garden!!!! Thanks for sharing!☺
wish i was going there to cornwall with my wife & daughter…that garden looks beautiful…mitchell – sunshine coast queensland australia
That looks so peaceful thanks for sharing
Amazing and so serene. This will be on my bucket list for my next visit to the UK. This has inspired me to try a Japanese Zen Garden in my backyard in Texas.
I have visited this garden. It is well worth making a trip. A truly beautiful place.
