Adult Workshop: Desktop Zen Gardens

Adult Workshop: Desktop Zen Gardens September 5^th 6-7:30 pm

Create a miniature Zen garden which can bring a nature escape right to your desktop. Zen Gardens were originally created in ancient Japan as a small stylized landscape which could aid in meditation through careful arrangements of rocks, moss, trees, and gravel or sand that is raked to represent ripples in water. Today Zen Gardens have been adopted around the world as spaces of peace, wellness, and quiet reflection. Your desktop Zen garden invites sensory exploration with sand patterns, soothing stress relief, and a connection to nature which requires no maintenance.
