Garden Sojourns
Garden Sojourns
From the aromatic TEA GARDEN landscape to the TEA ROOM tucked away inside a BOTANICAL LIBRARY, curated itineraries nurture and enrich journeys into refined well-being GARDEN lifestyle, travel, arts, and culture.
Garden Sojourning is a holistic approach to well-being. Rooted in nature, it aims to foster an atmosphere of charm and tranquility in harmony and balance with nature to support a creative lifestyle emphasizing bringing botanical touches of nature to the table, into the home, garden, and workspace.
Garden Sojourning offers a gentle invitation to move through seasons of change in our life and in nature. Its aesthetic approach and design principles can nurture our nature, cultivating self-awareness of our unique creative intuition and need for self-expression.
Developing a Botanical Style can deepen our relationship with nature, encourage us to eat outside, plant a garden, enjoy visiting parks and gardens, engage in botanical walks, and to share teatime and botanical books with like-minded friends.
The ART of Natural Restoration
To capture the essence of Kaplan‘s restoration attention theory (ART), a restorative environment must offer four key qualities.
1. (Being Away) sense of escape from daily routine.
2. (Extent)feeling of immersion within the environment.
3. (Compatibility) well-being goals are supported.
4. (Soft Fascination) requires effortless attention.
Mindful walking, eating outside, gently observing nature, listening to birdsong, and admiring the beauty of a plant-rich environment can create space to relax and breathe. A simple moving meditation practice can aid in promoting restoration of an overworked, stressed, or overwhelmed mind.
