Zen Pots | About Us

Custom Zen Garden Kits made to order

Zen Pots US was established in January 2015 from classy San Diego, California. We make custom meditative Zen Garden and Zen Fountain kits to bring elements of our home to yours. It is our hope that Zen Pots provide you with stress relief and serves as a useful tool for finding inner peace in your space.

A typical Zen Garden or Zen Fountain is a desktop-size landscape stylized through carefully composed arrangements of stone stacks (cairns), succulents, lucky bamboo, candlelight or LED components and uses white sand that is raked to represent ripples in water.

This two person initiative was established by Ryan and Ashley, who wanted to provide Custom Zen Pot kits made to order. Our goal is to help others relax and appreciate the beauty of the Japanese art of karesansui, or the dry landscape garden (枯山水). Combining Ashley's interest in Japanese culture and Ryan's background in industrial design led to this revolution in tabletop gardens and fountain pieces. Not only is each unique piece designed and hand-crafted by the duo, but additional add-ons, such as custom LED lighting and illuminating glow stones have separated them from the competition when it comes to creative tabletop displays.

People That Love Zen Pots!

our happy clients

I love this little zen garden! It's beautiful, and it serves as a constant source of joy and relaxation for me. Even the shipping presentation was impeccable: each piece was wrapped individually and sealed. It came with two tea lights and one LED candle. Ryan was also very prompt, courteous, and helpful during the ordering process. I would definitely order from this shop again.

First of all I ordered this for my hubby for father's day and I did not expect it to arrive by father's day as I did order it late! To my most happy surprise it did arrive before then. 2nd of all this Zen Garden was one of hubby's favorite gifts ever! He has it on his desk at work and he gets compliments on it all the time. It arrived in perfect condition and it was so easy (and fun) to put together! I big THANX to Zen Pots, you folks are FANTABULOUS!
