Kazuyuki Ishihara

Kazuyuki Ishihara (石原和幸 Ishihara Kazuyuki) is a Japanese garden designer who has won many gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show.[3][1][4] His design for 2019 is an artisan garden, "Green Switch", whose theme is switching from the urban environment to a natural one. It is planted with horsetail, iris, maple, moss, pine, watercress and features two waterfalls and a Japanese tea room.[5]

His show garden, Togenkyo (桃源郷 Tōgenkyō, translated on the English version of Ishihara's blog as "Peach Blossom Utopia"[1] and an allusion to the Chinese work The Peach Blossom Spring), won a gold medal and the Best Artisan garden award at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2014[2]
