Don’t miss this historic Garden Show in Nagasaki Japan where you can meet all of these top international designers and experience show gardens of the highest caliber. Jonathan Denby (see The FrankTaylor Memorial Garden below): “A Magician of Colour” Making gardens with dramatic, eye catching colors, while remaining the quintessential English Gentleman. I love Japan very much and I am very happy to be able to participate in the Gardening World Cup with a theme of world peace. The theme of my garden design for this show is “Slow Life”. It is my life work and a topic that I am deeply attached to. I am impressed with Japanese gardens for their peace and calmness. I want to add this element to my own design. Also, I plan to make use of Cycas Revoluta in my design. Cycas Revoluta are known as the slowest growing plant and they have been in existence in the planet much longer than human beings. I want to tie in themes of “Endurance” and “Slow Life” to express “World Peace”. More information: Garden World Cup Executive Committee Close
