on repetitive geometric patterns.

One of the most challenging types of garden is the Japanese Rock Gardens. These are a living work of art in
which the plants and trees are ever changing with the seasons. As they grow and mature, they are constantly
sculpted to maintain and enhance the overall experience; hence, a Japanese Garden is never the same and
never really finished. It is also known as Dry Landscape Gardens and often called “Zen Gardens” because they
were influenced mainly by Zen Buddhism and can be found at Zen temples of meditation.
