The Zen garden style at a glance
The zen garden comes from Japanese temples, where it was used for meditation. Gravel raked into waves represents water, rocks stand for mountains and moss softens the ground. A Japanese maple, some bamboo and a stone lantern complete the composition, while stepping stones guide the walk. Everything is balanced, sober and invites you to slow down.
To plan it, even in a small space, start by defining a gravel area and place a few stones with care. Add few plants, but well chosen: maple, bamboo in a planter, ferns and mosses. A fountain or a small pond brings the sound of water. With Redeko, take a photo of your garden and choose Zen garden: the AI keeps the house and perspective and only changes the landscaping.
The zen garden suits small gardens, inner courtyards and patios. It sits close to indoor zen style and contemporary gardens. Raking the gravel can become a calming ritual of its own.
