meditation garden

Peaceful outdoor retreat

A meditation garden is an outdoor space designed for quiet reflection and contemplation.

These gardens typically feature elements that promote calm—stone paths, flowing water, minimal plantings, benches for sitting.

The term often evokes Japanese-inspired designs with raked gravel and carefully placed rocks, though any garden intended as a peaceful retreat qualifies: The hospice added a meditation garden for patients and families.
