Posted on Feb.28.2007 @ 10:54AM EDT by Mushin
I would like to create my own little zen garden, i realize there isnt exactly any set method to making one, and from what I hear its possible to get all the materials at a local gardening store, but does anyone know what type of sand is used? ive yet to come across the seemingly shimery looking sand ive seen in so many zen garden pictures. In addition, if anyone has their own, please elaborate on it as i enjoy hearing about other zen garden ideas for inspiration.

I use lava rock and white marble chunks. Made a big yin/yang symbol which I'm sure they can see on the moon, them moon creatures. |

There is a very fine white silica sand used in bronze mold making, but you have to mask up around that stuff. I'd try one of the cement/landscaping places and ask em what you want. Heavy on the quartz I imagine. |

I had a beautiful Zen Garden, except my sons and their friends played Test Cricket on it all summer. Now it is even more beautifuller, at little battered but a true blessing to the eye. |

And is there any place that is not the Blesser or the Blessing?
What an interesting word, Bless.
