Creation of a therapeutic Japanese garden ‘reflection of nature©’

        A small cascading brook hosting a nagaretsukubai at its base and that finishes by getting lost in the rocks … Here is the first workingsite in therapeutic Japanese gardens, thanks to all my technical and aesthetic knowledge acquired at the source concerning this style of garden until today, and the protocol I created about it.

The autumn being favorable to the plantations, it was the moment chosen to pass to the realization … to the height of my waitings ! Everything, absolutely everything was perfect !

The truck was loaded with rocks, sand and gravel, plants, wood needed for the construction of the fence, tools … like a scientist “Tetris”, to be able to achieve 15m² of garden in the Alps in one go, after several months of research to find beautiful materials and have some items made by the best craftsmen.

It was necessary, however, to develop some ingenious stratagems with a certain dose of imagination for a sloping ground with a part situated under a terrace, but in the end, everything went beautifully well !

  1. Oh, Frédérique! Le jardin – c’est magnifique! Je l’adore!
    Limit of my francais… you have unbelievable talent and ambition to not only create the gardens, but to create beautiful videos to show them to the world. I wish I could accomplish a fraction of what you do!
