Zen and Now
One of Robin's summer projects was to convert his small backyard
in to a Zen Garden. The plan was to make the 12x18' space into a peaceful
but interesting garden that would require minimal upkeep. A contemplative
spot to enjoy his morning coffee, and a quiet place for Judy to read. The
haunting sound of bamboo wind chimes and a the gurgling pond add another dimension
to the garden. Check out
the before and after photos below.

is not in the garden but in the making of it" unknown
