Imbuing mindfulness and wellness into your landscape combines the benefits of an inspiring outdoor aesthetic with promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Outdoor Craftsmen landscape design is tailor-made to create this incredibly special type of landscape; their contemplative approach to a clean modern take on formal English garden design is renowned in our region.
Our experienced designers start by defining your vision for the garden. Consider what aspects of wellness are important to you. Do you want a space for relaxation, meditation, exercise (or all of the above)? Understanding your needs and wants will guide our design.
We carefully select a location for your wellness garden that receives adequate sunlight and is easily accessible. It could be in your backyard, side yard, back forty, or even on a rooftop if it receives sufficient light and has the right requirements for what the design calls for.
Next, we consider incorporating different zones for various activities such as meditation, yoga, or simply relaxing. Include pathways, seating areas, and space for plants.
Outdoor Craftsmen’s plant selections are given careful focus – we want plants that promote relaxation, stimulate the senses with texture, fragrance, motion, and even to attract pollinating wildlife. Adding edible plants like fruits, vegetables, and herbs will provide nutritious food and tending to them can be therapeutic.
Aromatic herbs like lavender, chamomile, and mint might be included for their calming scents. Native plants and flowers are a given to attract birds and butterflies, and naturally and sustainably enhance your natural environment.
We will designate an area for relaxation, whether it’s a bench, hammock, or meditation space, adding elements like wind chimes, water features, or a small fountain to create a soothing atmosphere. Soft lighting for evening enjoyment is always an excellent choice.
If space allows, and it fits with your wish-list, areas for physical activities such as yoga or Tai Chi may be part of the landscape design. Consider adding a level, stable surface for exercises and stretching.
Comfortable seating options like benches, chairs, or hammocks where you can relax and enjoy the garden, with extra cushions or pillows for extra comfort are typically recommended.
Our landscape maintenance team will develop a maintenance plan to ensure your wellness garden stays healthy and vibrant. This includes watering, weeding, pruning, and fertilizing as needed. Regularly spend time in your garden to connect with nature and reap the benefits of your vision come to life.
