Miniature Zen Garden

 A miniature Zen garden is a small space filled with sand or gravel and usually accessorized with a few rocks or plants. The goal is to use a small rake to move the sand or gravel to create patterns that look similar to ripples of water. The quiet practice is supposed to help you let go of whatever factors may be bothering you and focus on the simple task of creating the patterns.

There are many reasons that a miniature zen garden would be a good addition to your home. Keep reading to find all the benefits of a miniature zen garden.

1.Miniature Zen Gardens Can Be Beautiful

A Zen garden can add to the beauty of your home. That’s because they are simple and elegant. Because they’re so simple, you can adapt them any way you like to fit your style. Use the same color rocks, add trees and shrubs. You can even play around with the shape of your garden.

2.Zen Gardens Can Be Low Cost

The simplicity of your garden means you don’t have to spend a lot of money to create it. Rocks and sand are pretty common, and thus pretty inexpensive. Of course, the fancier and more decorative you make your Zen garden, the more money you will be spending. However, a good landscaper could probably work with you to create something you love that is within your budget.

3.They’re Flexible

No matter what style home you have, no matter how large or small it is and no matter how much space you have available you can find a place for a Zen garden in your home. That’s because you can adapt it to meet your needs. Your garden can be as small as a tiny corner of your bedroom or as large as your whole backyard. You can even create a portable rock garden that fits into your hands! Again, the best way to create a rock garden that will suit you perfectly is to work with a skilled professional.

4. Miniature Zen Gardens Are Low Maintenance

You don’t have to do a lot to keep your rock garden looking good. Sand and stones don’t degenerate or need food or water – so there is nothing you have to do there. Of course, you will have to care for whatever plants or trees are in your rock garden, but usually just a little water and plant food will suffice. Keep your rock garden free of debris and you’re good to go!

This world can be busy and hectic – you deserve a little peace. A Zen rock garden could be just the thing you need to help you relax and reenter the world full of energy and vigor!

Botanical Name: Zamioculcas zamiifolia ZZ Plant has become increasingly popular in recent years and I believe it deserves all the attention it’s been getting. The Aroid family has given us more dependable house plants than any other group and Zamioculcas zamiifolia is no exception. This is a worthwhile house plant to add to your collection. ZZ makes a great room accent and practically thrives on neglect. This easy-going house plant is forgiving if you forget to water, tolerates low light, and rarely needs fertilized. Want more? It also seems to shrug off pests. Growing from rhizomes, it has thick, upright stems bearing narrow, dark-green glossy leaves. Keep the leaves clean by gently wiping them with a damp cloth. Don’t use leaf shine products, which can damage the plant. Small, insignificant flowers — consisting of a spadix surrounded by a spathe — may appear at the base of plants in summer, although ZZs rarely flower indoors. A slow-grower indoors, ZZ plant rarely needs...
