Meditation garden

The meditation garden is a place where a calming and peaceful atmosphere is created that is inviting to reflect and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Characteristics

  • rest

  • meditation

  • connection with nature

The planting in the meditation garden represents nature and is soothing to the mind rather than stimulating. A subtly coherent colour palette, such as a combination of white, purple and various shades of green, creates a delicate atmosphere. Flowering trees and shrubs provide pleasant scents.

A comfortable seating area is created for meditation, reflection and to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty. The use of water, in the form of a fountain or stream, creates a soothing sound.

A Buddha statue emphasises the spiritual atmosphere and creates a visual anchor that is soothing to the eyes.

Involving wildlife enhances the sense of connection with nature.
