The creation of a minimalist garden begins with the delimitation of space. It is vital to create a well-defined pattern of colors and materials within a space limited by a fence, hedge or walls. The colors are neutral and natural. Limiting the materials used is also very important to achieve a minimalist and uncluttered appearance.

Grass is another option for a zen garden and simple because it is a neutral base that combines easily with stone or wood surroundings. This type of garden does not require many different kinds of plants – try to narrow your choices to three different kinds in the same color but in different shades. Boxwood is often the favorite plant of minimalist gardens. The pots of plants you will use must be contemporary and a clean design. Water is an element that has a very important place in the Zen garden. Try to find a small decorative fountain or create a pond of water that will create an aspect of calm on the general space of the garden.
