Creating a peaceful Zen-like space in your garden can be one of the most rewarding projects you can undertake. A place for relaxation and contemplation.
There are many different design options for a variety of garden spaces and budgets, however the design process follows the same pattern for all shapes and sizes:
Choose a quiet area in your garden where you can create a sense of seclusion and tranquility.
Zen gardens should be simple in design using minimal elements to create a clean and uncluttered look. Natural materials like rock, gravel sand and plants work well:
Rocks & Stones - Use rocks to represent mountains or islands, arrange them in groups or as solitary features.
Gravel or Sand - These represent water, rake the gravel or sand into patterns to create the illusion of waves or ripples.
Plants - Choose plants like Acers (Japanese Maple), Flowering Cherry, Bamboo, Ornamental Grasses, Topiary, Bonsai, Camellia and Azalea.
Water Features - A small pond, stream, waterfall or bamboo water fountain can add a soothing sound to the garden.
Create pathways using stepping stones or gravel, these paths can lead to different areas of the garden and encourage mindful walking.
Zen gardens often use asymmetrical designs to create a natural and balanced look.
Incorporating a focal point like a statue, stone seat, rock or water feature will draw the eye and provide a place of contemplation.
Keep decorations to a minimum, the goal is to create a calm and uncluttered space.
Choose plants that offer interest in different seasons, Flowering Cherry Trees provide beautiful blossoms in spring, while Evergreens create a lush year-round landscape.
Adding subtle lighting, highlighting key features will create a serene and relaxing atmosphere in the evening.
Adding items that are meaningful to you, for example; a piece of art, favourite plant or momento makes the space special to you.
