Creating a Zen garden on the balcony - that's how it works
Design your balcony as a Zen garden, create a restful retreat here that bans the hectic everyday life. Since the Asian concept is based on the elements of gravel, stones, moss and lines, it is transferable to any size of space. This guide explains how to create a zen garden on your balcony.
Zen garden on the balcony build yourself - Tips & Tricks
Even a large, flat bowl is enough to conjure up a Zen garden for the balcony. Use stainless steel profiles to separate gravel and sand, following the example of motif ribbons from the Memento grave design. Add a few larger stones in odd numbers without creating a geometric arrangement. Only then do you form the wavy lines with a Kare-san-sui rake.
Important to note is a wind and rain sheltered location so that your meditative lines are not drowned in the water or blown by the wind. In order to integrate the moss element into the Zen garden, place a small mound of moorland peat in the shell or in a separate, flat plant container and plant it with fresh moss from the forest.
Allowed plants set green accents
If space permits on the balcony, add decorative accents to Asian shrubs and shrubs. The following types and varieties enhance the zen garden authentically:
If you do not want to give up summer flowers in your Zen garden, Asian peonies (Paeonia lactiflora), spring flowering spice (Calycanthus floridus) and petite primrose (Primula japonica, Millers Crimson ') in white or sandy tubs are a good choice Choice. For the balcony on the north side, shadow bells (Pieris japonica), funchia (Hosta) and forest anemones (Anemone sylvestris) are in focus.
Tips
