His enthusiasm is just so infectious! Love moss too, but Australia is mostly just too dry, except in terrariums inside.This garden is heaven on earth. Thank you, Ishihara-san.

Always my favourite gardens ❤️

Wow! Seems like he packed a lot of beauty and tranquility into a modestly sized space. Such variety and sensory interest!

I always wondered what Mr Ishihara could do with a Main Avenue garden. Now i know. Wonderful. Go for Main Avenue Mr Ishihara!

What a beautiful garden! I am currently building a very small Japanese garden within my front garden. I love so many different types of gardens that I chose to divide my garden into garden rooms. A new garden room that I am working on has a Japanese theme and I will be using some of the ideas shown here in your garden. I did not know about having bonsai plants outside and I will see if I can achieve that effect (on a small scale) as well. Thank you for sharing your delightful piece of paradise!

I totally enjoyed this! I know it's not the show we normally have, but I'm relishing the chance to see inside gardens and amazed at the originality and creativity the pandemic is bringing out!

[@hollyhocks7360]

Absolutely gorgeous thank you

Amazing Ishihara!

[@zzoya9206]

wow, it's lovely!

I also love moss too much! The only thing is that I have to share it with all the birds in my garden (They have ripped apart my favorite moss wall😫😁😫😁). But I'm not that sad because I think we're here on Earth to take care of each other, thanks RHS!!!!

Late autumn here in New Zealand and I'm seeing so many Japanes maples, so many colours, all beautiful . To see them on their home ground , placed by a master, is an absolute treat.

Sublime

My favourite designer I also love moss and it grows well in North Yorkshire ( well in my lawn it does) , I keep transplanting it to where I want it to be. Another 20 years and I might get the result I'm after!

[@penelopehammerton2907]

Your attention to detail and your supreme creativity leave me in awe. I have loved your Chelsea gardens. Would love to see you design a garden using the kimono fabric as inspiration for your garden. Just a thought.

[@michellelarowe9059]

This was great! He is wonderful and clearly passionate about gardens, sharing knowledge and creating beauty for everyone to enjoy. I have always wanted to go to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show but always thought that I probably wouldn't be able to. This year I've gotten to see so much more than what is usually online and I'm so grateful. Thank you to everyone involved.

[@Herne72]

[@michaelpartridge8459]

Absolutely incredible.

[@simonwright2476]

Very good.

[@kareharpies]

Oh my goodness he sounds like an anime grandpa 😂😍

[@ScarletOpusFutureTrendInsights]

Beautiful garden. Absolutely horrendous soundtrack so far away from the sense of wellbeing & tranquility that a Japanese garden exudes. Ruined the digital experience of this superb design. Tranquility ....
