there’s an increasing awareness of the therapeuti­c benefits of being out in the open, and a more intimate space can provide a temporary escape from life’s pressures, and a special place to unwind.

For a garden to be truly relaxing, it needs certain key elements. Any sanctuary needs to look appealing and be situated in a quiet spot. it needs to have a good degree of comfort too, so bear this in mind when you plan any furniture or features like swing seats or lounging areas.
