Kar nekaj je rastlin, ki so zapisane v srcih Japoncev. Zlahka srečali tako na vrtovih kot tudi v parkih dežele vzhajajočega sonca.
Japonske vrtove preveva umirjeno vzdušje in zadržana barvna paleta. Med rastlinami, ki so malodane stalne spremljevalke vrtov Japonske, je nekaj takšnih, ki na skrbno izbranem mestu in ob ustrezni negi lepo uspevajo tudi pri nas.

Azaleje in
rododendroni, posajeni v skupine, se spomladi odenejo v bleščeče cvetove. Za rast potrebujejo kislo prst, zato je zanje treba pripraviti ustrezno gredo s šotno prstjo. Uspevajo tudi v loncih, ki so lahko plitvi, saj rododendron razvije plitve korenine. Bistveno je, da lonec napolnite s šotnim substratom in rastlini redno dodajate gnojilo za rododendrone.

Japanese Gardens showcases rich culture
HOUSTON – While the Olympics may be an ocean and a few thousand miles away from Texas, Houston has a unique gem to help Houstonians and visitors experience the beauty of Japanese culture.
Not too far of a walk from the Sam Houston Monument is the Japanese Garden, a peaceful oasis carefully crafted and maintained through a unique partnership between the City of Houston, Hermann Park and Houston’s Japanese sister city, Chiba.
The entrance to the Japanese Garden is marked by two meaningful black boulders, inscribed with calligraphy by major leaders including the 77th Prime Minister of Japan. A short walk into the Japanese Garden and guests will be greeted by Japanese Black Pine and Japanese Maple trees. Houstonian Gary Nakamura was born in Japan, grew up in Tokyo and now lives in Houston.

That birch tree s gotta be around here SOMEWHERE Matt Baume
“We should do something together,” you might say to a friend you haven’t seen in a year, or to a hottie you met on a dating app, or to a visiting relative who expects you to drop everything and entertain despite the fact that we can’t
all take our vacations at the same time,
Debra.
But what should you do? You should download the city s Seattle Tree Walks app and then go a-wandering. For catching up with friends; for going on dates; for avoiding awkward silences because you’ve run out of subjects to try to have something in common about; it is the perfect local any-season activity, and it s free free free. Seattle Tree Walks turns the spotting of trees into a kind of scavenger-hunt game that sends you bouncing all over the city.
