In today’s stressful environment, homeowners are increasingly adding meditation spaces to their backyard landscaping. These spaces act as a peaceful oasis from the outside world and all its cares. Lawn and Landcare’s designers are experts at creating colorful, fragrant sensory gardens. Read on as we share the benefits of meditation gardens and just how therapeutic landscaping can add even more enjoyment to your backyard.
What Is a Sensory Garden?
Outdoor spaces designed to captivate all five senses with thoughtful design and carefully curated plants are referred to as sensory gardens. Incorporating fragrant, colorful plant varieties with varying textures combined with a soothing water feature delivers an immersive experience. The benefits of meditation gardens or sensory gardens are many. They act as a tranquil retreat that reduces stress and clears the mind.
Texas Sensory Garden Design
Landscaping for relaxation is different in Texas due to our unique and sometimes harsh climate. The plants must be hardy enough to withstand the Texas sun while providing a calming effect. Some ideal plants would be:
Lavender
Its soothing scent reduces anxiety and promotes calm.
Rosemary
An exceptionally fragrant plant, rosemary also has a rich color and unique texture.
Mint
The refreshing smell of mint is ideal for Texas gardens as well as mojitos!
Jasmine
Adding spectacular visual appeal, climbing jasmine vines also evokes feelings of romance and contentment.
Texas Sage
Drought-tolerant sage adds pops of color and interest.
Sensory Garden Features
Creating sensory gardens for wellness is also about thoughtful garden design. Meandering pathways slow your pace while water features draw you in with their soothing sounds. Carefully placed seating invites you to pause, sit a spell, and forget all your worries.
Conclusion
Spending time in your new therapeutic landscape will bring incredible health benefits, such as lower blood pressure, better mood, and increased cognitive function.
