The key to increasing the naturalness of your garden lies in the
landscaping. My father was a gardener and I well remember his
"sunker", a walk-through garden area with a Japanese flavor that
transformed an overgrown, low lying and rather swampy area into a
striking showcase of natural beauty.


"low lying and rather swampy?"

Sorry you are so bigoted. I enjoy natural swamps. Sometimes better
than an artifically created "Japanese" garden that's not within 1000 miles
of the actual Japan.

Also, they aren't referred to as "swamps" They are referred to as
"wetlands"

Bigoted????

One other thing, if "swamps" are referred to as "wetlands", why do you
enjoy natural "swamps" and not "wetlands"?

Ted's post annoyed me too. I guess low lying equates to elevation
challenged and swampy to moist, warm and wet but I digress.

Bill who tries to garden in a Japanese manner. Think Mind.
