Our Zen Garden in the village is 13 years old. It is a fenced garden with a pond. The pond got choked with weeds and got very murky. So our wonderful gardner, Damien, emptied the pond and removed all the weed. Then he refilled it and added some lilies and goldfish. He also tidied the garden, renewed some plants and put in a concrete border on one side. It is looking very pretty again. I tddled over to have a look the other morning. The garden is at the end of our street about 30 metres away. It's a nice place to sit, read, relax and navel gaze. There are three small waterfalls but only one is working at the moment the others are being renovated.
Enjoy some Zen:
Wow ! that would be a place for me, to empty my head !!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so peaceful. I could happily while away an hour or two there. Even looking at the photos has made me feel calmer.
ReplyDeleteThe zen garden is beautiful, I love the pond and waterfalls. Take care, have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteperfection is what it is. would love to sit there and enjoy it. he did a super job
ReplyDeleteDelightful Zen Garden!
ReplyDeleteIt pretty and looks so relaxing. Anything with water is going to need to be properly maintained.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a beautiful resting spot! Nothing like that here...
ReplyDeleteBisquick is just a baking flour with most ingredients like oil, egg and baking powder already mixed in.
You probably have a similar product in your grocery store, ask a worker...I'll bet you do. You can use Krusteaz Baking mix.

ReplyDeleteThat does look like a lovely spot to sit outdoors, Diane, and the gardener, Damien, did a nice job.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
That is the problem with ponds, they need maintenance but are such a joy when the work has been done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place it is now to meditate. I want one!
ReplyDeleteLovely. Damian sounds like a real prize for your community ... I'd have flowers and gardens again if there were somebody like him around. (I love flowers, do not miss the work involved one bit.)
ReplyDeleteThat's the sort of place I'd like to sit and ponder. It must sound lovely when all the waterfalls are running. I always think the sound of running water helps me feel cooler on a hot day.
