An Alcove (Tokonoma) Garden |
Winner of the Artisan Gardens category at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2013 is the stunning Alcove garden. Kazuyuki Ishihara, the designer, explained that the garden represents an alcove within a traditional Japanese tatami room, decorated with a hanging scroll and flowers to delight and enchant.
It is part of Japanese culture to speak with important people in such spaces, and this concept forms a key part of the garden; visitors can let their hearts speak out whilst enjoying the scenery and seasonal references in the design.
A well deserved gold and even more deserved winner of the Best Artisan Garden.
