Is Yours a Therapeutic Garden Landscaped for Relaxation?

Aardweg Landscaping Philadelphia Main Line Design Installation“True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.” So said William Penn, perhaps as he was overlooking the quiet wilderness of hills and trees that then comprised the whole of Pennsylvania. But how can one even hope to find this reflective and restorative silence in our modern world, when noise and technology and busyness and an increasingly faster pace of life all jostle together to keep our minds in disharmony?

Enter the therapeutic garden design for home landscapes in Philadelphia communities. This is the perfect solution for a peaceful getaway at home! Rather than dreaming forever about an elusive getaway to find desired rejuvenation, one can have access to his own personal healing space, within the comfort of his own back yard! According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), “The potential for landscapes to become an important element in health care delivery may rest on the definition of the therapeutic garden, and its distinction from other garden types—healing, meditation, contemplation, and restorative. When differences are examined, it becomes clear that the complexities of and collaboration required for the design of therapeutic gardens demands a level of professionalism that is the rightful territory of the landscape architect.”

Is yours a therapeutic garden landscaped for relaxation? When our minds are whirling further and further from precious moments of much-needed peace and rest, is there a place you can go, a therapeutic garden space where you can retreat from the world, a little oasis in which to find refreshment, peace, silence and healing? With a minimum of space, you can create a peaceful sanctuary to enjoy.  Landscaped gardens can provide this type of tranquil setting offering the beauty to sooth the senses.
