Visions of Paradise Booklet
Visions of Paradise booklet – from an exhibition title 2011
This superb 80 page coloured book describes with accompanying images the gardens in Japan, covering the styles, aspects of design, important gardens and a historical time-line. It includes the way in which we have adapted ideas from Japan and incorporated those into the Japanese gardens seen in the UK.
A glossary of significant Japanese gardens in the UK is provided.
Booklets may be ordered from the JGS (in the UK only) for £6.15 incl P&P

The Society Journal “Shakkei”
Provided free to all members each quarter, our high quality journal Shakkei (borrowed scenery) contains many illustrated articles on a wide range of subjects related to Japanese gardens. Contributions are written by and for members of the Society.
There are regular articles on garden construction, including member’s own gardens, garden history, and horticulture including ‘Plant of the season’.
Many members find the journal alone is worth the membership fee without the added bonus of on-line lectures, garden visits and workshops.
Archive copies
We have over a hundred issues in our archives containing over a thousand articles. These are a treasure trove of information and many can be accessed by members on request.
JGS members can obtain earlier issues of Shakkei that we have in stock.
There is no cost other than postage (UK only)
