The Asian garden is based on a carefully designed strategy – while everything looks naturally placed, its done so with the utmost consideration. Since its based on nature, you won’t find any symmetry of sharp angles here. Simplicity is very important so this garden will not be densely planted nor planted with many different types of plants. Natural elements are also very important including rocks. Colors are somewhat muted – you won’t find hot pops of color. Everything including furniture and pathways are designed to blend in as opposed to stand out.
