Some poeple consider a garden to be an art. The Japanese take this to the extreme because like most things in their lives, they love extraordinary attention to detail when it comes to their gardens. It might be due to the luxury of owning a plot of land at all, or maybe it is their perfectionism, or maybe they love to love so much that attention to detail suggests an affection for individual plants. Whatever the thinking, calling a Japanese garden fine art is a bit redundant. Every individual plant is a fine art.
Visit this website to schedule a visit to a Japanese-style garden in your area. The only thing better is to actually fly to Japan and drink tea in the real thing for many times the cost. Since a garden of this type is a place for entertainment, see what events are scheduled. If the lights and the event are worth the admission price, do consider it.
