| hey scott i'm not an "installer" but have created a japanese-style garden and would be happy to furnish some suggestions regarding plant placement, types of plants that are accustomed to the north texas sun (and heat) and give a look and "feel" of a japanese garden. by the way, i've got five Japanese Maples thriving in my garden along with a number of crepe myrtle, junipers, bamboo and others. there's a nursery/bonsai farm in coppell that has a wide variety of plants that are perfect for a japanese style garden. the address is: Dream Gardens, 404 Southwestern Boulevard Coppell, TX 75019 and of course, you're welcome to email me privately if you like. cheers and welcome to the metroplex! wild tanuki (aka jeff) |
