Essentially, there is really no “secret” behind a beautiful garden except that you should really let your creativity be your ultimate guide. Have a handy visual image of how you imagined your garden to look like. Play around with colors, natural sounds, textures, and patterns, plants, and trees.
Gardens should feel comfortable, relaxed, and most of all nurturing. This can vary according to individual taste. For some, verdant greenery is the essential ingredient, while others prefer waterfalls or stones. However, there are some ideas that are popular in creating a meditation garden:
A garden that will be used for meditation should be a secluded area. If your location is very close to other houses or apartments, you will want to try to create some privacy. This can be achieved by using canopies or panel dividers especially made for the outdoors. A path walk that leads to a small entrance of the meditation garden is another great way to achieve privacy. A perfect example of this is a small wooden gate or a trelis to shield you from view or external distractions.
A meditation garden should be relaxing! Include comfortable seating areas and a spot to practice meditation or yoga. Outdoor weather should also be a big consideration. So, it is important to decide which side of your home is sunny and which side tends to be windy or shady, and make your decision based on those criteria.
Water Feature – in a meditation garden one of the most important elements to have around is the sound of a trickling water. This is why many homeowners and gardeners now include custom waterfalls in designing themed-gardens. Make sure the sound of the water is not too loud – just take it to a very gentle drop or trickle.
The type and quality of plants that you want in a meditation garden is another important element. And I do not mean you have to spend a lot of money on expensive plants.
