Our own gardens, no matter what size, should provide a sanctuary for relaxation and release from the pressures of the outside world. When carefully planned, the garden can even make a positive contribution to a healthier and happier life. This book opens up a range of possibilities for creating areas or entire gardens that have the power to heal.
'Healing Gardens' demonstrates how alternative therapies such as meditation and aromatherapy can be put into practice in the home garden. Following an introduction to the philosophy behind each therapy, the book explores personal needs for relaxation or revitalization and offers solutions to a range of health problems, including asthma, hay fever and stress.
Comprehensive plant lists are provided for each of the suggested therapies and gardens, with advice on selection of species, growing and healing uses. Colour photographs and artwork illustrate the principles of garden design, planting and ornament.
Whether you have a country garden or a city terrace - or even a window box - this book shows how you can maximize the healing potential of your garden.
