Japanese gardens continue to feature amongst the most popular horticultural styles, and it's easy to see why. Combining elegant foliage plants, like ornamental grasses and bamboos, with tasteful flowers, such as cherry blossoms and wisteria, Japanese gardens are refined, thoughtful and an absolute pleasure to stroll through.
