On my way to the orchid extravaganza in Kew, I passed by the Japanese Garden. Divided into the garden of harmony, activity, peace and drystone the site reminded me of the Japanese garden in Holland Park but more sad and empty (which could have been due to the time of year). The main feature of the garden seems to be the stone pebbles raked in specific patterns to resemble flowing water. It requires much less maintenance than a pond and yet is just as striking.
