Create a personal place of refuge in your yard. Add a stream, some flowing water or a Koi fish pond, or simply a lovely garden statue.
Let your creative juices flow for a new fascinating landscape. This will be your own place of refuge to retreat from the frantic world. Most Oriental style garden design plans tend to copy nature in miniature.
You can also achieve the feel of a Zen Garden inside your home.
Fountains or Running Waterfalls Add to the Calm of a Garden
asian dragon bronze statue home yard fountain sculpture
Add a contemporary touch with our Asian-inspired, solid bronze dragon statue that doesn' t breathe fire, but does spout water while bringing dramatic detail to your home or garden! Since beauty is in the details, each piece of this symbolic dragon statue is cast in the traditional lost wax method, finished with an antique verdigris patina, which highlights the exceptionally fine detail and guarantees lasting beauty. Our heirloom-quality bronze sculpture adds architectural interest anywhere, and is piped for optional cascading water to flow from the dragon's mouth into your pond or fountain.

A garden can be far more than a place to plant a row of zinnias or tomatoes -- it can be a place of sanctuary. With the help of The Sanctuary Garden you can make your own yard or garden a place of serenity, peacefulness, and beauty. No matter how large or small your garden is, it can provide a sense of safety and comfort. And through a deep relationship with nature based on intention, reflection, and contemplation, each of us can gather strength, and our spirits may be renewed.

The Zen of Gardening in the High and Arid West
The Zen Of Gardening In the High & Arid West:
Tips, Tools, and Techniques
"A Zen outlook is essential to gardening in a region beset by fail, drought, and short growing seasons. It also doesn't hurt to have a quirky sense of humor, the patience of a barn cat, and the insight to find a lesson in every failure. David Wann brings all of these along with him on the journey as he guides the reader through the triumphs and pitfalls to becoming a Zen master gardener. Seasoned gardeners will recognize a fellow traveler; novice gardeners will get the encouragement they need to stay the course." Marcia Tatroe garden columnist for The Denver Post
Another Garden Buddha Statue

From his clasped hands to his serene stance and the soft folds of his garment, the sculptor used every element to convey the tranquility and calm assurance for which this attendant of Buddha is so legendary. Cast in 42 lbs. of quality designer resin, our oversized Ananda boasts a richly burnished finish.

Landscape Gardening in Japan
A man of wide interests, Conder was encouraged by the warm reception given his 1891 Flowers of Japan and the Art of Floral Arrangement to undertake a book on gardening. In preparing the present book, he relied not entirely on his own observations but consulted, and "freely borrowed from," some of the most reliable Japanese sources available at the time, the oldest dating to 1633. The resulting book is the product of a Western, Victorian perspective with access to Japanese authoritative texts.
