They come with a tray usually black which can be filled or covered with moss, rocks or stones – creating a base. The main body is a container that represents hills or craggy mountains landscape with either trees or houses an steps that take the eye up to the cavity or vase/container which you can display either small bonsai or pick flowers which are brought inside the house for continued enjoyment. Things to gather: moss, balls, rocks, stones, fern, a few gathered garden camellias or whatever you have on hand! Here is a little background history: Chinese garden design has a rich history rooted in philosophical and aesthetic principles that date back centuries. Early gardens were for royal pleasure and hunting, evolving into spaces for meditation, contemplation, and the expression of scholarly interests. The philosophy of Chinese garden design emphasizes harmony between nature and humanity, often presenting a miniaturized version of the landscape using elements like rocks, water, and buildings.
