Garden therapy, also known as gardening therapy, uses gardening and being in nature
to improve mood and well-being. The stimulating environment helps to reduce stress, improves quality of thinking, provides mental exercise and sensory stimulation and encourages social interaction.
Strategically designed vegetation and environment contribute to improving overall health and quality of life. The garden gives visitors the opportunity to take a refreshing break in a playful and fragrant outdoor space to enjoy the “showcase garden”.
The materials and plants chosen according to the local environment require little human intervention to maintain, therefore the plan aligns with the ecological, economic and social goals of sustainability.
Additional materials used: Wooden terrace and border of planting area, sand/gravel covering.
