    A Beautiful Paradise (Making memories with a green poem), Ishihara Kazuyuki's garden at the Chelsea flower show. I posted these links in the Japanese Gardens section but am reposting here as one of the major themes of the garden are the many maples planted to symbolise the replanting of acer forests destroyed by the quake and tsunami.

    Link to BBC news video of garden design by Japanese gardener Ishihara Kazuyuki.
