John had put us in contact with the key people from the Japanese Garden Community. Today we met and interviewed Graham Bowyer, Se Chair & Trustee, Japanese Garden Society. He gave a talk locally on the 1910 Exhibition, and has helped get Japanese Landscape Gardeners involved. He is an expert on Japanese gardens and has lots of photographs of the original exhibition. He shared with us photographs and information on the Garden of Peace, now Hammersmith Park.
What are your wishes for this place? Or for other Japanese gardens in the UK?
Graham spoke a lot about community led initiatives, like Gatton park in Surrey that has a large team of volunteers.
