Shizen, "The Japanese Way", illustrates the unique way in which the Japanese people seek to be in harmony with nature in their daily lives by using sliding shoji screens to frame different views of the garden.

The garden was designed to show that authenticity does not need any of the ornaments or artifacts often associated with Japanese gardens. A dry stream runs under the house and flows into a shallow pool with a rain chain. A three rock arrangement in gravel with clipped shrubs and contoured lawn bring precision and space to the small garden. A stepping stone path leads from the veranda through trees to the shakkei (borrowed scenery) of the woodland.

The house and garden were designed by Maureen Busby and built by members of the Society, together with a team from Beechings Landscapes.
