Take A Mindfulness Break With One Of These 11 Mini Zen Garden Kits

by

Zen gardens, also known as Japanese dry gardens, have been used since at least the first century. 

The gardens are distinctive for their gravel or sand raked to look like waves.

They sometimes include moss, larger rocks, trees, bushes, or water features.

A small Zen garden is a miniature version of the traditional garden.
