WHAT IS A ZEN GARDEN?

The Japanese rock garden or "dry landscape" garden, often

called a zen garden, creates a miniature stylized landscape
through carefully composed arrangements of rocks, water
features, moss, pruned trees and bushes, and uses gravel or
sand that is raked to represent ripples in water. Zen gardens
emphasize the principles of naturalness, simplicity, and
austerity.
Carefully raked sand or gravel with precisely placed
rocks are the main parts of a zen garden. Sand raked into a
round, spiral or rippled pattern represents the sea. Place rocks
on top of the sand to make a soothing pattern.
The symbolism of the stones in a zen garden is one of
the most important design elements. Upright or vertical
stones can be used to represent trees, while flat, horizontal
stones represent water. A zen garden can also contain a simple
bridge or path and lanterns made of rock or stone. These
features add a sense of distance, and you can use them as a
focal point to aid meditation.
