Wanna go checkout a special Open Garden this Sunday?

Please go to 

Private Hahndorf residence/art-space of Japanese artist Hiroko Kimura. The garden coined YUI 結, means to 'tie' and unite. This garden ties together the German environment, Japanese culture, and the Australian land.

Over 100 birch trees were planted in this small residential garden. The forest designed by Shinya Ueda evoke the wild groves of Hahndorf in Germany. From inside the gallery space it feels like being in a tree house surrounded by a sea of green.

The other wing of the garden is a Zen garden. A composition of Spherical black granite boulders, backed with Japanese brush fence and a row of weeping cherry. These rocks or 'planets' as Shinya calls them, represent the TanaBata folklore. A love story of a princess (Virgo constellation) and a farm boy (Aquila constellation) falling for each other, only to be separated the Milky way (AmaNoGawa 天の川 : Heaven's River). 

A Japanese Podocarpus (Buddha pine) is planted on one corner, and the other, a Brachychiton rupestris (QLD bottle tree) grow towards each other, separated by the boulders to tell the tale.

Shinya will guide visitors, and to celebrate the event, Hiroko's friend and artist Toshihiro Shinzato from Okinawa will do a live calligraphy performance at 12pm.

Visitors can expect to learn about key Zen garden design concepts and how to tie your garden into the architecture.

Shinya will also share stories of his successes and pitfalls of creating a 'forest' composition in a residential garden. Which trees work best? How to design the plantings? After care? And more!
