Create An Asian Garden Paradise
Ranked #1,721 in Home & Garden, #21,694 overall | Donates to Salvation Army: Indiana Division
Create a personal place of refuge in your yard. There is a feeling of serenity in an Asian garden, but not because it is lifeless and still. There is movement and also sound - the rustle of the wind through the trees and the call of birds and animals. 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.

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.

"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

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.

If Asia Interests You, Perhaps You Should Check Out the Dharma Group
The "Dharma Group" at Squidoo is home to many lenses that are Dharma related - click on the Buddhist logo (left) to visit this group and it's lenses or to join the group. If you have a lens that is about Dharma (either Hindu or Buddhist), we would be thrilled to welcome it to this group.
If you are not a member of Squidoo and would like to know more about creating your own lenses, CLICK HERE to join Squidoo and start today. It's absolutely free, I promise.
Not sure what to make a lens about? How about YOU! A short biography of yourself is always a good way to start as a lensmaster. Or your dharma work would make a great topic. That should take about 5 minutes to begin, but you can come back to it and add to it over and over again.
