What is a "Zen garden"?
A Zen garden, also known as a Japanese rock garden, is a carefully designed outdoor space that promotes tranquility and meditation. These gardens typically feature sand or gravel arranged in patterns that represent water ripples, along with strategically placed rocks, stones, and sometimes moss or small plants. The simplicity and minimalism of a Zen garden encourage mindfulness and contemplation, allowing individuals to reflect and find peace in nature. Often enclosed by walls or fences, these gardens create a serene environment that emphasizes harmony and balance, reflecting the principles of Zen Buddhism and Japanese aesthetics.
