Creating a Japanese rock garden, or Zen garden, involves arranging rocks, gravel, or sand to represent miniature landscapes.

In a Japanese garden, you can grow a variety of plants, often chosen for their seasonal appeal. These may include maples, cherry trees, moss, and other plants native to Japan.
