How To Create Your Own Garden Sanctuary

First things first, you want to create a space that is tranquil and peaceful. This can be achieved using elements such as water fountains, wind chimes and comfortable seating. Plan out a space where you can relax and unwind. Consider painting any fences or walls with a calming, soothing shade such as mint green or light blue.

Next up, plant placement. Choose plants that not only look great but also have medicinal properties. Some great choices include lavender, chamomile, and Echinacea. These plants are not only beautiful but can also help alleviate things like anxiety and insomnia. Win-win.
