Answer 1

First of all is it one foot by one if it is you wont get much in there in the way of plants and statues.Most small table zen scenes are done with fine sands and pebbles and the raking of the sand brings relaxation.

You will find a multitude of books you can borrow from your local library which will give you huge amounts of ideas to use to your situation along with diagrams and photo's to help you.

Good luck and happy gardening.
