#21 Serene Pond

This is a great example of the kind of bridge you should try to include in your Zen Garden if you need to incorporate a bridge into your design.

#22 Koi Pond

If you decide to include a pond, a koi pond may just be the way to go. Koi are supposed to represent courage, friendship, and good fortune.

#23 Bamboo

If structures do need to be included, making them out of bamboo is a good way to keep it as natural as you possibly can.

#24 Home Garden

Having your Zen Garden within visual distance of an open room of your house is a great way to not only find peace in your garden but in your home as well.

#25 Stone Path

In accordance with classic Zen Garden principles, you are supposed to avoid the appearance of having something man-made in your garden. This stone path fits that ideal perfectly.

#26 Sparse Trees

Even if you don’t have the money for something fancy, you can build with what you have. For example, adding some sand and raking over it near these trees instantly brings your mind to Zen Gardens, even without the addition of other stones.

#27 Stone Structures

The use of stone in this example is perfect. The gravel is raked into circles, and larger stones to represent islands and structures are examples of classic Zen Garden.
