Why Northwest Japanese Gardens?
At Lazarus Bonsai, we’re passionate about crafting serene outdoor spaces inspired by the elegance of Japanese gardens—infused with the lush, organic character of the Pacific Northwest.
Our Journey
Rooted in a deep appreciation for bonsai artistry and traditional Japanese garden principles, our founder expanded from cultivating miniature masterpieces to creating full-scale landscapes that emphasize harmony, simplicity, and seasonal beauty.

Our Philosophy
We blend time-honored Japanese design elements—such as asymmetrical balance, thoughtfully arranged stone, evergreen structure, and symbolic water features—with locally sourced materials like native river rock, driftwood, and Pacific Northwest evergreens. The aim is always to evoke peace, evoke discovery, and foster a deep connection with nature.
Year‑round structure: Evergreen shrubs and sculptural stone maintain visual interest through all seasons.
Water symbolism: Dry creek beds, gentle streams, or designed waterfalls bring movement and a sense of flow—without excessive maintenance.
Local materials: Driftwood, moss, river stone, and native plants make each design authentically rooted in place.
