What exactly is Zen? A client that subscribed to my blog asked me this question the other day at my Garden Center.
Well, I told him Zen can be described several ways… When it applies to the garden it simply means quiet, peaceful feelings.
From the dictionary it’s both a Noun & an Adjective: zen : a state of calm attentiveness in which one’s actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort Perhaps that is the zen of gardening—you become one with the plants, lost in the rhythm of the tasks at hand”.
I can say for a fact, that is the Zen I’m speaking of. It’s a feeling of peace and relaxation that I or you get from waterfalls, koi & gardening in general. Even a sunrise or sunset can give one this feeling 😊
The feeling you get watching the sunset over the water is a Zen feeling. There is something special about water… There is a bit of magic in it…
So many times it’s the setting or focus that helps you achieve this Zen… Another friend sent me a photo that his daughter took of their Waterfall. I think you will feel the Zen form this photo as I did 👇🏻
A friends daughter took this picture. I can tell that she knows the meaning of Zen already 😊
I hope you all have a wonderful morning and a great week ahead!

Good morning! It’s Waterfall Wednesday 😊
A LOT of my inspiration comes from Nature! I have learned so much from observing natural waterfalls and streams!
I was thinking a lot about why I Love ❤️ waterfalls so much. And also where I get my inspiration to design and build them. It really comes from a love of nature. Streams and creeks and natural waterfalls are always the most beautiful! My goal is to replicate them. To design and build a Water Feature in your backyard that looks, sounds and feels like a natural, organic Waterfall… That’s our goal!
Today is #waterfallwednesday, I couldn’t narrow down just one image that felt complete today, so here are several 😊 Click on this link and check em out 👇🏻

It’s a beautiful morning! It feels like Spring out here 😊 I sat down by this waterfall for a minute and ended up taking a little video of the sound and movement of the water. Such a soothing, Zen like feeling you get from sitting by a Waterfall…
Sitting down by a Waterfall relaxes your mind and then your body follows. Your heart rate drops, you relax… Waterfalls have a bit of magic about them 💥
I hope this little snippet makes you smile this morning 😊 Have a great day!
