DIY Outdoor Zen Garden

We are sure that you would not mind a little more peace in your life. Enhancing the Zen of your home can be a great practice to help make areas of your home feel more relaxing. One great way to add serenity to your space is by creating an outdoor Zen garden. There are several elements which you can include in your Zen Garden to make a more soothing and relaxing atmosphere. The concept of a Zen garden is to tell a story through minimal use of objects. To accomplish this, you must be very strategic of what you add to your environment. Here are our top picks to add to your garden:

Rock Formations

Find a landscape which you would like to represent. These Japanese gardens love to orchestrate formations in pairings of three. You can add sand, river stones, volcanic rock, or simply just boulders to your garden. Let each rock be different sizes and structures to give them each their own individuality.

Running Water

One of the most fundamental features to have in your Zen garden is running water. You can do this a number of ways by creating a waterfall or adding fountains. You can adapt this through bamboo or water coming through some boulders. Look up different ways you can add fountains to your own garden to be creative and tailor it to your wants.

Greenery

With very flew plants being used in these gardens, what plants you pick is key to setting the mood. Bamboo and ginger are perfect for creating this beautiful atmosphere. However, adding plants with burgundy, moss, or even a golden color can give these Zen gardens a very distinguished look.

These low-maintenance Japanese gardens are perfect for any backyard. They are there to represent miniature landscapes and tell a story. Try to think of an ideal landscape you would like to represent in your yard. These beautiful gardens can turn your boring backyard into a relaxing getaway oasis. Simply adding these three elements can make a beautiful landscape in your backyard. Do not over complicate the project and allow it to represent natural elements.
