Create Your Own Corner of Calm: A Practical Guide to Creating Your Own Well-Being Garden 
Have you ever stepped out into nature and immediately felt your heart rate drop? 

Natural spaces have the power to bring us to a state of peace and calm, no matter how much chaos is going on in our day-to-day lives. 

In fact, so powerful is nature's effect that many hospitals have now incorporated well-being gardens into their designs. There are spaces for patients and staff alike to relax and find a moment of calm amongst all the stress they’re dealing with.

If you have a backyard, you might wish that you could transform it into a space as magical as this… and if you have no more outside space than a small balcony or a tiny strip of land outside your back door, you might long for a bigger space to work with.

But the good news is, in either case, you can create a powerful space to support your health and well-being. You can build your own little corner of peace, no matter what you’re starting with.

This unique guide will show you what a garden needs to support your well-being, rather than bogging you down with gardening know-how you can find anywhere else.

Inside, you’ll discover:

●    Exactly how a garden can improve your health and well-being—and how you can instantly find calm with the simplest of changes
●    How to find the perfect spot in your space to build your sanctuary… and why you’re going to need a seat!
●    What you can do to listen to yourself, listen to your garden, and tune into the details that influence you the most
●    The power of switching demanding labor for gentle changes… and how you can work in your garden with your well-being at the forefront the whole time
●    Why your senses are so important (and how to plant a garden that speaks to them all)
●    The art of incorporating movement into your garden—for both you and your plants—and why it’s so powerful
●    The comfort of feeling secluded, and how to create a sense of privacy and safety without closing yourself off from the world
●    The reason garden maintenance should require minimum effort… and how you can make sure that it does from Day 1
●    Why a well-being garden should never be “finished” (discover how to make peace with perfect imperfection)
●    Practical solutions for benefiting from a well-being garden, even if you don’t have your own space to work with right now
●    Your complete guide to the plant qualities that support well-being and the conditions in which they grow best—so you can plant with intention from the very beginning

And much more. 

If you’re thinking about the space you have right now and worrying that it’s too small to become the tranquil garden that you dream of, or that it’s so large and unkempt that the very thought of wrangling it is intimidating… Relax.

You can create a magical well-being garden in even the smallest of spaces, and there’s no need to tackle a large expanse of land all at once.

It all starts with a vision and one small corner… and this book will show you exactly how to bring that vision to life.
