Compared to other gardens you showed us, there are not really many plants around the tea bushes. Does this mean that chemicals are used here or is it because of the soil that not so much grows?
Both. This is not an organic garden(tested for chemicals but certified) and it is a very, very old garden. The paths that I was walking on were very hard soils with a lot of history. Not a lot can grow on them as the soil is so compacted. It is also a relatively small garden with many people taking care if it so they get rid of the weeds. this garden is right in the heart of Taoyuan, near the international airport!
