The Rock Garden

My garden type is the Rock Garden. It originates in Japan as a ,Japanese Zen Garden.The simple garden with rocks and plants were used to relax and try to reach enlightenment.

Many think of a rock Garden as just rocks. It is much more. Small plants are skillfully placed throughout. With the right placement and settlement the garden is very low maintainence. It is a process and you have to be patient but it is great for hard to reach spots.

Colorado's Garden of the gods is a natural Rock Garden of sorts and allows the calm, relaxed feeling as you meander through.

Rock gardens are beautiful and aids in a relaxed feeling,easy to maintain and great for the soil and environment.
