Can Reno borrow from Zen Buddism Gardens?


Because our climate is so dry I have been thinking of ways to add beauty to our landscape and conserve our natural resources. Rock-scapes, typical of the Sierra, are everywhere. To add variety I have been considering our own style of Zen Buddism gardens. Multiple textures and few plantings lend themselves to our climate. I would like to seem them modernized or "Reno-ized" to make them our own local architectureal style.


The above photo link provides an example of the Karesansui Garden. Just scroll down to item 4.

I think this is a really good idea, and it would probably look better and more to the area that we live in. Probably the cost of this wouldnt be that much.
