The ideas for garden design can be spread across all possible areas and furnishing styles, in many cases depending entirely on personal taste. If you admire Asian culture and are looking for a real relaxation bordering on a meditative state, the Zen garden is the right concept for you. There you can experience real moments of peace and enlightenment. The classic Zen garden design is not mandatory. It's all about a relaxed atmosphere that calms you down. If you don't have enough space for a Zen garden outside, set up a mini copy at home.
The garden design ideas that focus on relaxation and meditation are primarily linked to the concept of the Zen garden. The classical Zen garden was established in many Buddhist temples and monasteries to encourage and support monks in meditation and achieving enlightenment. The classic Zen garden is aDry garden made of sand, graveland larger stones. The lines in the sand represent a certain state of mind and help the monks find peace. Each element in the garden has a precise position that has special meaning.

Zen in your own garden
As already mentioned, the Zen designs are not necessarily tied to the classic concept. If you feel like it, you can also set up a relaxing corner in the garden at home for relaxation and meditation. You can of course use some elements from the classic version such as sand and stones. To invite a touch of Japan, also add other elements of the Japanese garden. The most important thing is to feel comfortable and relaxed in your Zen garden. And if there isn't enough space outside for a relaxation corner, take a look at our examples of a mini Zen garden, which also serves as a fabulous decoration.
