"There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time, we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story."
- Linda Hogan
Nature always fascinates me, whether it's the ocean, a mountain, or simply a garden. I've recently begun gathering garden design ideas in preparation for creating my own garden in the future. The Flower Show featured several lovely garden designs that were inspired by gardens from various Asian regions. The Thai and Japanese nature gardens are a few of my favorites.
Nature gives comfort to us and I couldn't agree more. It simply makes my stressed body relaxed when I'm in it. I could imagine myself being in this garden. All pain will definitely be washed away. This was the Thai Garden at the Flower Show. This looks like a fancy spa or resort in its traditional Thai design.
There were a lot of hydrangeas, guzmania, golden lotus, and other flowers.
Can you spot the sleepy Buddha? She looks cute in the corner. The elephant head on the wall is typical to see at any Thai-inspired place.
I can tell that this black drum-shaped table is made from rattan. It looks truly sturdy. And do you know that those sides can be pulled? Those are actually the chairs. Such a brilliant minimalist idea, isn't it? This garden showcases not only the beauty of nature but as well as the elegance and creativity of the place using native materials.
Thai garden is truly beautiful and so as these Japanese gardens. There were a few at the event.
One thing I noticed in checking all the gardens was the mini bamboo water fountain. Oftentimes, when I feel overwhelmed, I just want to go to this kind of place to look for tranquility and do a little bit of contemplation.
Undoubtedly, those vibrant colors of spring, the cherry blossoms and all, the sounds of the water, dry ice smoke spreading over the ground, the tranquil place, and beautiful scenery would definitely wash all stresses and anxieties away.
This beautiful Japanese garden have lots of colorful paper lanterns in an open shed, and the flowers around are in full bloom. Japanese people like tea time as well. Most of the gardens have tea table where the owner could have a cup of tea in the morning or afternoon while lying on the floor and admiring the nature around.
Thai or Japanese? Which garden is your bet? I guess both?
