Our planting that you might think is grass is actually a ground cover known as Dichondra.
Usually in spring or summer we seed or plug (small pieces we cut from flats that we grow)
the landscape to give the garden its green, lush appearance.
From seed and a cover over the seed, it will take root in 10-14 days, and fill in about 6 weeks.
The simplicity of the dichondra ground cover is an integral detail of Dr. Koichi Kawana’s original design
of this Japanese Garden & philosophy to ensure that regional plants
are utilized so that the Garden relates and represents its local identity.
