If you ever wondered why a Zen garden is like it is OR what they mean and their historical background then my manual ‘Japanese and Zen gardens’ can answer those and many other relevant questions. Also, you will learn how to appreciate them on another level.
Zen gardens come in all shapes and sizes but follow very rigid principles.
They can be built in a large or small space and are ideal for meditation. Peaceful sanctuaries in a hurly burly world.
The smallest one that I have seen is a desk-top Zen garden complete with mini rake. Rakes are used to create the illusion of water in ‘dry’ water lakes and seas usually made of sand or gravel.
Zen gardens typically imitate actual landscapes. You will see from the picture above how the land and ’sea’ replicate an actual panorama of landscape.
Got a small area in your yard or a roof terrace? Why not create your own ‘Zen’ space? It’s easier to do than you think!
