Multi-Sensory Elements for Therapeutic Benefit
Our evidence-based design integrates specific elements to engage all senses, fostering holistic well-being.
Sight: Calming Colors & Dynamic Forms
Carefully selected plants provide visual interest and stimulate the optic nerve through vibrant hues, seasonal changes, and varied textures, enhancing mood and cognitive stimulation.
Smell: Aromatherapy in Bloom
Fragrant plants like lavender, rosemary, and jasmine are integrated to provide natural aromatherapy benefits, known to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation.
Sound: Nature's Soothing Symphony
Water features, rustling grasses, and plants that attract birds are incorporated to create soothing soundscapes, masking unwanted noise and fostering a sense of peace.
Touch: Grounding Textures
Plants with varied textures – from soft lamb's ear to rough bark – and natural materials encourage tactile exploration, providing grounding and sensory stimulation.
Taste: Edible & Beneficial Plants
Safe, edible plants such as herbs, berries, or specific vegetables can be included, offering opportunities for culinary engagement, connection to food sources, and nutritional benefits.
