Others intersperse native plants, to attract birds and wildlife, with showier ornamental plantings. The Zen of Japanese gardens, with water, stones, and a minimum of plants, suits some environments and gardeners beautifully, while others plant a sturdy backbone of hardy plants and then push the boundaries of their climate zones in surprising displays of horticultural bravado. In every case, successful gardens are based on a thorough knowledge of local conditions, and on gardeners who are willing to garden where they live, no matter how wildly and imaginatively they interpret that principle.
