1 BEAUTY OF THE BEAST!
Just as you might include pieces of beautifully shaped driftwood in your backyard, Chinese gardens feature naturally formed rocks that are positioned to capture an image – here, a majestic dragon. Strong, jagged rocks emerging from smooth, so lakes is part of the Taoist principle of yin and yang – the balancing of opposites.
For many thousands of years, China has been developing its gardens into structures of purpose and meaning. The Chinese Garden of Friendship in Sydney’s CBD is a beautiful example – and shows you how to adopt its ideas into your own garden and imbue it with special meaning.
2 Be wild and untamed!
If you’re tired of formal flower beds and neat lawns, imitate nature’s wild aspects with a waterfall tumbling down rocks. Scale it to suit your own space.
