A Zen garden is a place to clear the mind and calm the soul. Inspired by ancient Asian garden traditions that value harmony and reverence for nature, a Zen garden is the perfect antidote to the stress and complications of modern living. This kind of garden is often characterized by small conifers and trees accented by tranquil water features. Ornamental grasses, bamboo and stone are common. Flowers, however play a limited role since most garden elements are chosen for year-round visual appeal.
