This literally means "meditation garden." The first character happens to be known as Zen in the west (pronunciation coming from Japanese) but this title is not often used in Japan (won't be recognized as a Japanese title). In fact, the title "Zen Garden" is basically made up by westerners.
園 is a single character that means garden in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja. This can also mean orchard or park.
園 is not a common single character for a wall scroll but nothing is wrong with it. A lot of customers asked for a single character for garden, so I've provided what I think is the best option here.
