The teachings of Zen Gardening are not very easily transcribed as a means of instruction in writing but rather, must be shown through a hands-on approach. Zen Gardening is not mystical. Zen Gardening is not brain washing. Zen Gardening is about discipline. Zen Gardening is about teaching one’s self how to reconnect with the balance of mind body and soul. In the oneness of nature, which cumulates into the discipline in any form that you direct. This so happens to be Zen Gardening. The balance of nature.
