Area of Science:

  • Environmental Psychology
  • Horticultural Therapy
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Green spaces and nature exposure are increasingly recognized for their health benefits.
  • The concept of a 'garden sanctuary' offers a specific focus on restorative environments.
  • Understanding the mechanisms of nature's healing impact is crucial for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the therapeutic value and healing properties of garden sanctuaries.
  • To explore the psychological and physiological effects of spending time in a garden setting.
  • To provide evidence supporting the integration of gardens into health and wellness programs.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving interviews with individuals who regularly use garden sanctuaries.
  • Quantitative assessment of stress reduction and mood improvement through pre- and post-garden visit surveys.
  • Analysis of environmental factors within garden sanctuaries contributing to their restorative qualities.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported significant reductions in stress and anxiety levels after visiting garden sanctuaries.
  • Positive correlations were found between time spent in gardens and improved mood states.
  • Key elements identified include sensory engagement (sights, sounds, smells) and a sense of peace and seclusion.

Conclusions:

  • Garden sanctuaries possess demonstrable healing value, offering significant psychological benefits.
  • Nature-based interventions, like utilizing garden sanctuaries, can be effective complementary therapies for mental well-being.
  • Further research into optimizing garden design for therapeutic outcomes is warranted.
