Flower Mountain Zendo (meditation) Garden melds a millennium of Japanese garden philosophy, art, and tradition with the contemporary Colorado landscape. Thoughtfully translating ancient patterns into a sense of serenity within the city, Flower Mountain fosters philosophical and physical respite and an ease and vitality one can breathe in and absorb. Its miniaturized mountain scene - an eloquent and compact interpretation of the surrounding Colorado landscape - affects the visitor emotionally and spiritually while offering a dedicated garden for meditation and ceremony.
