Japanese garden is a peaceful space that doesn’t have any excessive elements, everything is perfectly balanced. Start with moss, which is basics, and combine it with grasses and greenery that you like – don’t plant too many. You may also add a tree or a couple of trees – rock very thin and small ones, the types that are typical for Japanese gardens. A tree isn’t a must, the more peaceful space you want, the less you need a tree. Blooms aren’t popular for Japanese gardens, so you may ѕkір them or go for a sakura tree if you want.
