HOW TO MAKE A ZEN GARDEN (click here to download a printer friendly version)
|
You will need a Container ~ There are many options that will work well.
|
Other items needed: sand, rocks, essential oil (optional) and a zen rake. |
|
If sand is collected from outside, remove any bugs, twigs, or other junk.
|
If you prefer, you can buy craft sand or decorative sand.
|
Place your choice of sand into the container you want to use.
|
|
For a sense of tranquility, and a calming aroma, add 10-20 drops of essential oil ~ We prefer Lavender.
|
If you want the sand to have a wet look, add Jojoba oil into the sand until you get the consistency you want.
|
Add 3-5 small to medoum sized rocks. You don't want too many rocks.
|
|
Add other small objects to personalize your zen garden - shells, miniature decorations, air plants, etc...
|
Use your Zen Rake to make wavy patterns in the sand.
|
All Done! There are no rules to using your Zen Garden.
