In Japan, the garden is an essential place in which to relax. Pruning of trees is done by hand using traditional rules and gives birth to “Niwaki”. A principle adopted by Cathy Hammel, who landscapes terraces, gardens, patios, pools..., leaving nothing to chance and imagining ideal, pure and Zen-like exteriors.
