Japanese Garden day 16

This was so unexpected! What's a Japanese garden doing in suburban Sweden? The answer is: it's one man's passion. He retired 8 years ago and took over from his wife. He started with a 350 year old hornbeam tree and a sloping rock backyard and has created an inspiring garden. To start with as Klaus named every plant in the front garden and we slowly crocodiled around the side it was a bit ho hum - except for David who was throwing around Latin names - then into an exquisite back yard and we were all blown away.

I think I'll let the photos tell the story. After that we just sat stunned on the bus till we arrived in Stockholm.
