Hi! Today I will be teaching you how to make your very own desktop zen-garden! The history of Zen Gardening started in the year of 784... Yikes. These types of gardens are usually found in bigger scales and is suitable for outdoor purposes only. You will find yourself in a relaxed tone when you are creating and fixing the garden. Let us begin!

Step 1: The Materials

You will need:

Sand (Preferably softer sand)
A Bamboo Box (Homegoods)
A small fork

Optional:

Rocks for Decor

Step 2: Sand

Pour about 2 cups of sand in the bamboo box, about 3/5th s of the box . If the amount of sand is too small or too big, don't hesitate to put more or less!

Step 3: Flattening/Smoothing

Once the sand has been put in the box, flatten the sand. This is a vital part of your garden, otherwise your lines will look sloppy.

Step 4: Rippling the Sand

After the sand has been smoothed, start creating the water-like ripples in the sand. If you'd like, make some squiggly ripples to give it that "water" effect, remember this is YOUR zen-garden.
