Zen in your garden : creating sacred spaces
(Book)

Includes index.

The Japanese Zen garden is a triumph of simplicity, a space where balance is emphasized to create a sanctuary of stillness and meditation. This book shows readers how to achieve that balance, and turn an ordinary garden from something to look at to an experience. Here, Jenny Hendy shows how to create a garden with different energies, from the soothing to the invigorating; how to incorporate different styles of gardens, from rock and gravel to water gardens, from wildlife gardens to a woodland style. Exploring the basics of both planting and design, this book helps readers lay out a landscape that will have something for all seasons and all senses. Beautifully illustrated with helpful color drawings, Zen in Your Garden is a perfect book for anyone seeking to create a sacred space.
