Welcome to Litsy!

I soak up anything relating to Japan and Japanese culture. Kyoto is my favorite city in Japan (even though I haven't made it there yet) so this was a no-brainer. I learned so much about the history and tradition of Japanese gardening and pruning. And the fact that the author was just 3 years younger than I am now when she made this journey made it very relatable and I could just imagine how this experience was for her. Extremely enjoyable!

Kendra and I are buying all the books in sight for #independentbookstoreday are three more bags in the car because we hit up the library book sale along the way. #sorrynotsorry

Super excited about this one!! It's about to get nerdy in here!

Ah, yes, a green smoothie while reading about gardening!

I'm looking for inspiration to get out in my garden as soon as it warms back up again.

I'm not particularly interested in gardening, however I was attracted to this book because of it's cultural quality. I loved travelling around Japan and peeking into it's traditional gardening values from page to page. From someone that has no gardening experience I still found this book easy to read and follow. It deepens further into the adventure, the opportunity and the respect for Japanese culture. I definitely recommend it.
