Title: Zen in Your Garden: Creating Sacred Spaces by Jenny Hendy ISBN: 0-8048-3289-7 Publisher: Tuttle Publishing Pub. Date: September, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $18.95 |

Summary: Shallow and Superficial
Comment: This book on Japanese gardening by an English garden designer reminds me of a young child trying to dress up in her mother's jewelry and makeup, without any understanding of the proper use of these things. The author takes a shallow understanding of a handful of Japanese traditions and uses them as pretty baubles to decorate her chic, modern designs. I halfway expect that if I could reach out and touch the plants shown in the photos, they would be plastic. If you want to read an author with a real understanding of Japanese garden tradition, I recommend "Sakuteiki - Visions of the Japanese Garden" by Jiro Takei & Marc Keane or "Secret Teachings in the Art of Japanese Gardens" by David Slawson.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent guide to Zen for Western gardens.
Comment: I am a beginner at Zen, but from what I know of the underlying ideas and principles from reading several authors, this book captures the essence of what one would need to create a place for quiet contemplation. Stunning pictures!
