For sometime I have been a fan of Japanese gardens. The flow, the focal points, the stone, the water and the wonderful trees. I, along with my family, live in The Woodlands, Texas. The local environment of east Texas lends itself to a Japanese garden style with our majestic pines, as well as palms and deciduous trees, availability of powerful stone and our unique weather. I have been studying the art of Japanese gardens, as well as the art of the garden tree, and am writing this blog to discuss the growth of my own Japanese garden, as well as discuss my fondness for this ancient style.

I found this picture on the internet.  This is a wonderful example of a Japanese Garden.  Notice the beautifully sculpted pine tree on the "island" within the sea of sand.  The large stones stand out as other mystical islands within the racked waves.  Represented here are a few key points to Japanese gardens.  (1).  The ever present stone.  (2). The representation of water.  (3.)  The mighty pine, sculpted to look pleasing and mature.
