There is a saying, “Practice what you preach”. Well, on this channel, we talk a lot about Japanese style tree and shrub pruning, but we live it also. This video is the first ever debut of and your personal invitation to tour Nathan’s own private Japanese garden, which he has created from nothing in his own, somewhat eclectic, Pacific Northwest style over the past 30 years. When he started, the yard was a blank palette…well, not exactly. It was actually a non-landscaped, weed-infested garbage dump. Nathan hauled out a 30-yard dumpster load of old motorcycle and car parts parts, broken furniture, pallets, dead animals, and a lot of other junk besides, and then he got to work transforming it into what it is today. Like all Japanese gardens, this one has been a work in progress, and there is still more to be done. In the mean time, please allow me to share it with you as it currently is. Enjoy.

What an incredible transformation. Turning a neglected, debris-filled space into a thriving Japanese garden takes vision, patience, and years of dedication. It’s inspiring to see how much passion and craftsmanship went into creating something so beautiful and peaceful.
How did you know what my yard was like 33 years ago when I bought this house? Yes, I literally had to bring in a 30 yard dumpster to haul out all the junk and debris that littered this yard which was a weed patch. It has been a slow and long transformation, but it’s something that is very special and brings great joy and peace, and hopefully will inspire others. Blessings!
