Inside tis web page you will learn the basics of starting and maintaining a a
a basic japanese garden. This site is an assignment that fulfills a
requirement for completion of a college class at the Ohio State Univ.,
so if you have any comments or complaints or anything else that you
think is necessary to know, please feel free to E-mail me. In the
meantime, you may partake of my limited knowlege of japanese
gardening.

This site is not going to be the most in depth look into gardening, nor is it going to be THE website for japanese gardens. It is here to give interested people a starting point. I hope to have some great links and even a few tips that will help you get out of the starting gate. There are three basic areas that this site will cover. Bonsai, Bonkei, and Keeping of Nishikigoi, or Koi. I will cover the basic pruning techniques for purchaced bonsai, the placement of stones and some do's and don'ts fo Koi/water gardening. I am going to try to give the best images on the net and the most detailed information I can provide. If you have better information or know a site that does, again, please E-mail me with the details. This site will always be a work in progress and anyone who wants to help me, please feel free.
