Twenty years ago, Dan Pearson was invited to make a garden at the
240-hectare Tokachi Millennium Forest in Hokkaido, Japan. Part of
the intention was to entice city dwellers to reconnect with nature
and improve land that had been lost to intensive agriculture and
this was achieved along with much more. By tuning into the physical
and cultural essence of the place and applying a light touch in
terms of cultivation, this world-class designer created a
remarkable place which has its heart in Japan's long-held respect
for nature and its head in contemporary ecological planting design.
The bold, uplifting sweep of the Meadow Garden mixes garden plants
with natives while the undulating landforms of the Earth Garden
bring sculptural connection with the mountains beyond. Under the
skilful custodianship of Midori Shintani, the garden has evolved
beautifully to reflect principles that lie at the heart of Japanese
culture: observation of seasonal changes, practical tasks carried
out with care and an awareness of the interconnectedness of all
living things. This beautiful, instructive book allows us all to
experience something of the Tokachi effect, gain expert insights
into how to plant gardens that feel right for their location, and
reconnect with the land and wildlife that surround us.
