Introduction

Hello all, I am here to tell you about the new hobby I have been taking up. It is called zen-gardening, and it has helped me learn about my love for nature and how to be more at peace. This blog post should help anyone that is looking for a new hobby or just looking to find their peace in the midst of a busy life.

What is a zen garden?

A zen garden is a garden of raked sand and rocks, designed to be a representation of nature. Zen gardens are usually small areas with paths, water features, plants and stones. The purpose of the garden is to provide a place for relaxation and reflection.

Types of zen gardens

  • Zen Garden: A zen garden is a type of Japanese garden that focuses on simplicity and minimalism. The gardens are meant to be meditative and relaxing, with little to no decoration or plants. This can create an interesting juxtaposition with the ornate buildings and temples they’re often found in, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of nature while also appreciating how it can exist among manmade objects.
  • Karesansui, or dry-landscape: This term refers to all types of zen gardens that do not include water features such as ponds or streams; however, they may still contain stones and mosses.

The benefits of zen gardens

Zen gardens are a great way to relax and unwind. They are also a fantastic way to connect with nature, no matter where you happen to be.

Zen gardens come in many different shapes and sizes, which can help you de-stress in different ways. For example, some zen gardens have water features, such as fountains or pools of water that you can sit beside and watch the ripples on the surface of the water while you meditate or focus on your breathing. Some zen gardens have a rock garden where rocks or pebbles are arranged into patterns by size and shape. Others may be laid out with plants that grow from seeds collected from each season’s blooming flowers so that throughout the year there will always be color blooming somewhere within sight when sitting outside enjoying nature as well as taking time for yourself!
