A garden can be a place to relax, alleviate stress, restore your spirit and find peace.
Although just being in nature and surrounded by green space can positively contribute to mental and physical health without any specific planning, intentionally designing your garden space with this purpose in mind can provide even more benefits.
Our latest activity is for kids to design their own healing garden! You don't need a big space, or even access to the outdoors. A spot on the windowsill might be just right for your healing garden.
A few questions you might ask kids when thinking about setting up a healing garden:
🌿 What would you like to do in your garden?
🌿 Do you want to attract butterflies?
🌿 Do you want plants that you can touch, feel, taste, smell or that make noise?
🌿 Do you want to grow something you can eat?
🌿 Do you have a favorite color that could be featured in flowers or accessories?
