'Creating a Coppice Garden for the First Time' by Takayuki Hirai, Ishishoen

This book is full of hints for creating a pleasant garden where you'll want to stay forever by incorporating seasonal mixed trees. The "coppice garden" allows you to enjoy the four seasons while at home: the budding of spring, the beauty of early summer flowers and fresh greenery, the cool and pleasant breeze through the shade of the trees in summer, the autumn where you can enjoy the leaves changing color day by day, and the winter where you can be soothed by the warm sunny spots.

A Wealth of Examples of Different Types

In Chapter 1, "Making Good Use of Small Spaces," and Chapter 2, "Turning a Poorly Sunlit Place into a Beautiful Garden," a wealth of real-life examples are introduced, showing how even places with less-than-ideal conditions can be turned into beautiful gardens. Having mixed trees in the garden makes a life with nature possible.
