The Pacific Bonsai Museum is located right next to the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden in Federal Way, WA. Unfortunately I didn't have time to walk through the bonsai museum during my February 2020 visit, but did snap this photo. I appreciated both the idea that you should RESPECT the RAKE, and the image of three rakes made to work in unison. It certainly makes the patterns in the rocks a little easier to create.

I've always wondered how some gardens manage perfectly raked gravel. Now I know!
ReplyDeleteNow you know.
DeleteA clever tool!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you can buy them like this, or if it's something custom made.
DeleteLooks home-made... reminds me of the row maker my dad made... perfect rows every year!
DeleteI have respect for anyone who can make those perfect lines in the gravel - and with three rakes, no less. I imagine it takes years worth of honing to build that kind of skill.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteAlways wondered how they do it, three rakes in one clever!
ReplyDeleteVery!
DeleteI wondered how they make those perfect grooves and patterns... clever.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what requires more skill, raking patterns or mowing them in lawn?
