Advice on planning a Chinese garden, please

[emiliadaniel]

Following the sad loss of a Chinese member of staff at my DS's infant school, we are planning to create a Chinese garden in her memory. Does anyone have any advice for me or know of a school that has a Chinese garden? Thanks.

I did see a lovely Chinese garden at the Tatton Flower Show - obviously a very different project to the one you have in mind, but the website of the garden's creators gives lots of information about plants for a Chines garden, as well as some interesting information about the philosophy behind it and other elements in it.

Thanks very much for that link - lots of useful info on possible plants to choose.
