Soon the world will set their eyes on the Summer Olympics in China. All over China thousands prepare for not only athletes but spectators alike. Asia carries on their long tradition for unique tranquil gardens along with a special approach bringing a “nature Zen modeled” beauty to potted plants like bonsai.

In North America we often associate topiary plant sculptures in the landscape with theme parks like Disney and Busch Gardens.

Enjoy the images below as the Chinese prove they can create some extremely beautiful topiary with amazing detail. I truly hope the world gets the opportunity to enjoy this spectacular “landscape sport” of plant topiary!
