You might wonder why is it a zen garden? Zen is the Japanese word for meditation. A zen garden, or “dry landscape garden’’ in Japan, is a pure relaxation in the vicious circle of our busy lives.
Not only is it easy to maintain but also has the meditative effects with the mesmerizing lines in the gravel or sand surface. Consisting of rocks, pruned trees and gravel or sand, zen garden is relatively small to be easily viewed from the porch.
