Did you know? The World Health Organization predicts anxiety will be the leading health issue, outranking obesity by 2020. Today’s society puts a lot of pressure on people to stay connected. With the ability to access unlimited information at the touch of a button and the 24/7 cycle of news and social media, it’s no wonder that anxiety is at epidemic proportions..

Wellness on the other hand, begins with the active pursuit of making choices toward a healthy and more stress-free life. That pursuit should have a heightened awareness and be wholly celebrated in our outdoor living, The Wellness Garden plant palette is a collection of warming fragrances, tactile textures, illuminating colors and even soothing sounds to create a state of wholeness with nature and self.

Homestead Gardens top picks for a wellness garden include
Early season bulbs like Hyacinth, Daffodils and Tulips which offer a much-needed colorful glimpse of Spring’s imminent arrival
Fragrant herbs like Lavender, Rosemary and Sage which provide a beautiful and soothing setting throughout the seasons.
While perennials like Catmint and Lilac provide stress-relieving aroma and long-lasting blooms throughout Summer.

The element of sound is crucial and must not be ignored when planning a wellness garden. Beyond plants, there are some man-made additions that will help create a calming environment.
Consider adding soothing sounds with water fountains and wind chimes. Homestead Gardens offers a great selection of fountains that we can even install for you.
