Of all the gardens on my itinerary there are four notable omissions here. The following explains why.

Saiho-ji
Simply ran out of time to visit the famous 'Moss garden'.
Joju-in (at Kiyomizu-dera)
This exquisitely designed small garden was, for some reason, closed to visitors.
Katsura Imperial Villa
A permit is required (I couldn't make the given date), guided tour only and, I think,
photography is prohibited
Sambo-in
A beautiful garden but photography was prohibited.

Should anyone have photos of these gardens that I could use, then please get in touch.
