The Japanese Garden is one of my favorite locations at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. It’s a magical place, where the city falls away and you enter a space of delicate, timeless beauty.
For the October issue of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden newsletter, I talked to Nick Esthus, the horticultural manager of the Japanese Garden, about the philosophy behind this remarkable space. He also discussed how to apply these principles at home, saying: “The goal is to create a beautiful space that exists in harmony with the surrounding architecture and landscape.”
My family will never stop finding it funny that I write gardening advice–if you could see my back yard you would understand why. But someday, I hope to find the energy and attention to apply some of these ideas.
