Design a Zen Garden

When it comes to making the decision to Design a Zen Garden the first thing to do is to decide on the scale you want. Zen gardens come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and you can create a desktop Zen garden or you could convert your entire back yard into a Zen garden!

Do bear in mind that there is maintenance involved in a Zen garden as you will need to water plants, weed, and rake the sand to remove debris and animal droppings.

If you feel that maintaining a large scale garden might not be for you, you might decide that a smaller, portable or even desktop mini Zen Garden is right for you.

Before you set about hammering and nailing take the time to plan how you want your garden to look.

If you are creating an outdoor Zen garden then you will want to ensure you prepare the area. You will want to remove any plants or grass so that you have the scope to work unhindered.

If you are building an indoor Zen garden then to start with find a flat surface and cover it with newspaper or plastic sheeting to contain the sand while you work.

If you decide to purchase a pre-made Zen Garden then enjoy!
