Set the Atmosphere with a Japanese Pergola | The Garden Book
The Japanese have used pergolas in their landscaping designs for centuries. If you need to design a Japanese-style garden in your yard, you will desire to incorporate some type of covered walkway or pavillion. Pergolas are arbors with cross-beams over the top which are frequently used to make formal entrances to gardens or to supply a covered area for relaxing and chatting. Though the roofs of these structures aren’t water tight, you can grow vines over them to provide for a shady retreat. While the ancient Japanese built pergolas of stone, modern tastes have changed to wooden structures which are much more reasonable to build. As well as models made of wood, arbors are also available that are fashioned from iron, vinyl, and fiberglass.
Japanese pergolas are knock-offs of the first pagodas which were built to provide housing for the ashes of Buddha. Their design often includes straight crosspieces with scrolled ends. Thru the centuries, the structures lost their religious connotations, especially when the designs caught on in the western world where Buddhism is rarely practiced. Although these classic bowers went out of favor during periods of the 18th and 19th centuries when fashionable gardens went thru a natural trend, they have come back into style in the 21st century in a big style.

A Little Acre of Unsung Plants
EXCEPT for a fallen Japanese cedar and some battered zinnias, Hurricane Sandy did little damage to the Linwood Arboretum, where 200 trees and shrubs continue to thrive in near oblivion on a single acre.
If you haven’t heard of the arboretum, that isn’t surprising. This little triangle of unusual plants, cinched in between a bike path and a couple of one-way streets, is so small that even in Linwood, most people don’t notice it.
As Allen Lacy, a former garden columnist for The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal who helped start the project five years ago, likes to say, “This is the smallest arboretum in the world.”
Mr. Lacy, who lives down the street, hasn’t exactly scoured the world for a smaller one, but he has a point: most arboretums tend to be several hundred acres with thousands of plants.
On a chilly afternoon a few days after the storm, the camellias were still in bloom. A fat bud on a towering hibiscus promised one more enormous pink flower; the dark pods of the black cotton plants were bursting with satiny white seeds.
