The theme for my garden is Meditation and my design principle is Organic elements and shapes. This is present in the semicircle pond-leading paths and the curved hedge, the tree seats and other circular elements also. The secondary design principle in play is the circle as a hub idea, in the middle of the site two conjoining semi-circle areas (for different purposes) can be seen representing this. This area is the meeting place of the park as such. The hero shot shows this area, shade and unique (tree-like) seating on the one side and a lookout across the pond-led paths. Since the theme is Meditation I utilized water features because they can provide white noise which has been proven for stress-relieving. The stone-wall fountain along with the pond-led path was built to be memorable because it is unique and interesting. Much like a Zen garden I have secluded areas for peacefulness because they allow for both a quiet space and privacy. The gong and balancing rocks represent peace aswell.
