zen garden
Contemplative rock arrangement
A zen garden is a Japanese-style garden featuring carefully arranged rocks, raked gravel or sand, and minimal vegetation—designed for contemplation rather than strolling.
The raked patterns suggest water ripples; the rocks represent islands or mountains.
Creating or tending one is meant to be meditative: She rakes her zen garden every morning before work.
