Re: Mr Beckiboo Needs Gardening Advice.
I did a Japanese themed garden, based on the ying yang symbol for a gardening programme a few years back, heres a pic.
You can't really see the ying yang bit, but it showed from an ariel view.
lots of black and white marble chippings for the symbol, and a water feature .
