Planting the Front Zen Area – Part Two | Our Japanese Garden Escape

Part two of the Zen area planting video focuses in more detail on the types of plant we use and why and discusses the overall look we want to achieve along the borders. It also covers plant placement and arrangement and how to deal with planting deeper rooted plants in shallower or restricted beds.

Plants mentioned in this video:
Japanese holly – Ilex crenata – evergreen
Portuguese laurel – Prunus lusitanica – evergreen
Boxwood – Buxus – evergreen
Japanese yew – Taxus cuspidata – evergreen
English yew – Taxus baccata – evergreen
European red pine or Scots pine – Pinus sylvestris – evergreen

We are in a climate/hardiness zone 6 and all plants above are growing well in our garden.
