Kazahana garden
16 May 2010 | 1 min read
By garden designer Kazuyuki Ishihara. Kazahana means 'a light snow flurry from a cloudless sky'.
Kazuyuki Ishihara has created this garden, with its green walls and natural beauty, to bring a smile to our faces.
Our green spaces help to relieve the stresses of everyday life, bringing feelings of peace, re-energising us and fuelling our imaginations.
This rooftop garden set within an urban landscape is filled with plants and features a green room.
A river appears to flow through the garden. In combination with the planting, the presence of water helps to ease the urban heat island effect.
