The design employs a distinctive use of stones, with the shape and arrangement of the stones thoughtfully designed to interact with the plants. The Garden incorporates varying elevations, creating a sense of depth and is influenced by the traditional flower arranging art of ikebana (‘making flowers alive’), specifically the Ikenobo School. The planting includes trees commonly seen in the landscapes of Japanese satoyama (countryside), including Acer palmatum, Enkianthus perulatus, Iris, Sedum, Hornbeam and Pachysandra terminalis.
