meditation gardens
Peaceful reflection spaces
Meditation gardens are outdoor spaces designed to promote calm, reflection, and mindfulness.
They typically feature natural elements like water, stones, plants, and pathways arranged to create a peaceful atmosphere conducive to quiet contemplation.
Japanese Zen gardens with raked gravel and carefully placed rocks are perhaps the most iconic example, though meditation gardens exist in many cultural traditions.
