The Garden Network

One of the objectives of the Japanese Garden society is to facilitate  the maintenance of Japanese gardens. As the popularity of Japanese culture continues to rise, we have reached the ideal moment to revitalise the understanding, care and maintenance of Japanese gardens in the UK. 
The Garden Network is a collective of Professional gardeners in the UK who by sharing skills aim to:

  • Strengthen the community of professionals caring for Japanese gardens
  • Develop an awareness of the specialist skills required
  • Identify common concerns and challenges
  • Create future plans to ensure the sustainability of these gardens
