Notes on a Japanese Garden

The Perth & District Horticultural Society is pleased to present Notes on a Japanese Garden at our next general meeting on Tuesday, May 12.

In a Japanese-themed garden, a small space holds big ideas about designing with plants, stone, water and “ma”, the all-important space in between. Part garden travelogue, part gardening experiment, this lecture, delivered by Barbara Sibbald, author and Master Gardener, aims to inspire.

We will also have a Spring Flower Show – (click on the link for details).

Barbara Sibbald, who has been nurturing ornamentals since 1985, loves the design process nearly as much as the plants. During COVID, she redesigned half of her backyard to create a Japanese-informed garden. Barbara is also an award-winning journalist and author of four novels and a collection of short fiction. She became a Master Gardener in 2024.
