The '''CSS Zen Garden''' is a [[World Wide Web]] [[Web development|development]] resource. The goal of the site is to showcase what is possible with [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]]-based design. Style sheets contributed by [[graphic design]]ers from around the world are used to change the visual presentation of a single [[HTML]] file, producing hundreds of different designs. Aside from reference to an external CSS file, the HTML markup itself never changes. All visual differences are the result of the CSS (and supporting imagery). The site has been translated into multiple languages.

When it launched in May 2003, it contained only five designs.

In February 2005, ''[[The Zen of CSS Design]]'' ([[Peachpit Press]]) was published by CSS Zen Garden creator [[Dave Shea (web designer)|Dave Shea]] and web designer [[Molly Holzschlag]]. The book is based on 36 designs featured at the Zen Garden site.

CSS Zen Garden has inspired similar sites in other languages.

"The Garden" itself was inspired, according to Shea, by an experiment by Chris Casciano called "Daily CSS Fun," and a CSS-related contest from [[HotBot]].

From April, 2008, the CSS Zen Garden website was not being actively developed. However, on May 7, 2013, for the tenth anniversary of the website, Shea opened up submissions again, focusing on [[HTML5]], CSS3 and modern design principles.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://mezzoblue.com/archives/2013/05/07/10_years/ |last=Shea |first=Dave |author-link = Dave Shea (web designer) |title= 10 Years |publisher = [http://www.mezzoblue.com/ Mezzoblue] |accessdate= 2013-05-07}}</ref>
