Miniature Zen Garden Kit

Place our authentic mini Zen garden at your desk while you work from home, in the office, or wherever you need a little piece of nature as a way to relax and de-stress throughout the day. Or, gift it to someone and practice your Dāna pāramī (virtue of generosity.

These desktop traditional Zen Garden kits are packaged carefully with each element individually wrapped, along with printed label with instructions.

Each kit includes lava rock from Japan's Mt. Fuji, all-natural freeze dried live moss grown at Mt. Fuji's base, white sand (as is traditional in rock gardens), a wooden tool for making designs (not pictured), and an unfinished wooden box with lid to hold your miniature dry garden.

Additional mini rakes are available separately (pictured) and can be used to make your sand art even more interesting and enjoyable to create. Additional moss is also available to make your mini garden more lively or to display elsewhere.

About Zen Gardens

The Japanese Zen Garden (枯山水; karesansui) was created in the 11th century by Zen Buddhist monks as a place of refuge and meditation amongst nature's tranquility while still within the confines of their monasteries. Usually walled in like a courtyard, these gardens were kept free from distractions and interruptions from the outside world, allowing the monks to contemplate the teachings of Buddha and the nature in total peace.
