Back to work!
You may have noticed, that there were no new blog posts during the last months..
I (Anika) took Maternity leave from July 2016 and wasn’t able to concentrate on blog posts during this time..
However, I am back to work now and am already planning on some posts about gardening, garden design and exterior in Japan!
I hope that I will find some time soon to prepare the first ones to go online this month.
I also prepared a new eBook about a beautiful garden in Tokyo!
Thank you for your patience and I hope you can still wait a little bit longer for new updates.
See you soon!
P.s. If you would like me to write about a special topic, feel free to tell me in the comments and I will do my best to publish an interesting article! 🙂

With twelve years of professional landscaping experience under her belt, Anika Ogusu is your perfect guide to the world of Japanese gardens. Her love of nature began early, in the woods near her childhood home and the garden of her grandmother’s house. During her teenage years she developed a strong interest in Japanese culture, and after university she decided to combine her love of Japan and gardens into a profession. Anika started her career as chief gardener in charge of the perennial valley at the Botanical Garden in Hamburg, Germany, then moved to Tokyo in pursuit of her dream. For two years she apprenticed under local landscape designers and learned the art of Japanese garden design, construction and maintenance. Now, in partnership with Real Japanese Gardens (www.japanesegardens.jp), her wish is to spread the magic of Japanese gardens to the rest of the world. Her in-depth guide books on gardens throughout Japan are available in eBook format or paperback. In her free time, Anika enjoys exploring her adopted country (especially green moss gardens), and soaking up nature and any details that interest her.

I am keen to hear your comments or blog about lawns in Japan, especially western lawns in Japan
Thank you for leaving a comment!
I will add lawn to my “to write list” and publish a blog post about it as soon as I have time 🙂
