Zen garden
The Japanese dry garden or Japanese rock garden, often called a zen garden, is a distinctive style of Japanese garden. It 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 are commonly found at temples or monasteries.
They were intended to imitate the essence of nature, not its actual appearance, and to serve as an aid for meditation.
Here I want to create my own zen garden with my collection of plants and tea.
