One of the defining ideas behind how to design a healing garden is that the space unfolds as you move through it, then feels like a cocoon when you decide to sit and pause a while. A healing garden designed with intention should reduce stress and anxiety, help you focus on feeling calmer, and improve the quality of your sleep. In addition to being a wonderful place to spend your downtime.
Therapeutic elements in any wellness garden generally include a contemplative seating area, a soothing water feature, and layered planting featuring feelgood aromatic scents and rustling, textured grasses to enrich the experience of time spent in the garden. Pollinating plants, bird baths and houses, and bee hotels to attract wildlife will give you an extra dimension to connect with beyond the purely visual.
