Why have a wellbeing garden?

They give opportunity for socialisation and relaxation providing a ‘proper break’ from stress and screens. Research has found this promotes increased staff morale, productivity and creativity. A garden can also provide an informal meeting space for staff socialisation leading to improved teamwork.

Looking out onto green space from an office window provides a rest and re-set for screen-tired eyes, is calms the central nervous system and the sight of plants and wildlife give a sense of improved wellbeing.

Caring for the garden is also a great way to signal that a company cares about it's staff, encouraging the recruitment of a high calibre workforce and the retention of existing staff.





 

What does a wellbeing garden look like?

The scope and variety of a wellbeing garden depends on the size of space and the budget available, but here are some ideas to get you buzzing:

  • A Forest Garden with fruiting small trees and shrubs, providing some tasty snacks and dappled shade in the summer. What about including small spaces to grow a few vegetables, like peas or courgettes, making it a really interactive garden.

  • A Wildlife Garden with a small pond can provide habitats for all sorts of insects, birds and animals. Dragonflies buzzing overhead and goldfinches perched in the branches. Add a bench and you have a wonderful haven where you can gather your thoughts.

  • A Formal Garden along more traditional lines, filled with ornamental plants and shrubs, giving all year-round interest. Perhaps utilising walls or trellis around seating areas to give a feeling of seclusion.

  • A Container Garden. Containers and large tubs can turn the tiniest space into a lovely garden space, even if you only have a small, paved area or a balcony. Containers are also a great way to convert unused carpark, into a relaxing green space.


Sounds wonderful! How do I find out more?
