Japanese. I was recently talking to the curator of the Japanese garden at Denver Botanic Gardens, and he told me how thankful he was that his predecessors had used so many Colorado natives. When I asked why, he said it was because they were both adapted to the place environmentally and helped celebrate that place stylistically. That’s what a Japanese garden does — it celebrates a place, condensing the larger natural environment beyond into a smaller, more accessible one out the door.
A Japanese garden is a native plant garden, the curator said, which totally blew me away. A Japanese garden celebrates the spirit of the native landscape. Ideally native plants are used, but that doesn’t have to be the case.
