For most of us, our garden is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors after a busy day, or long week at work. It’s a tranquil space that we look forward to spending time in, either for some quality time alone or all together as a family. If you take a look out into your garden right now, do you see a space you would like to spend time in? If the answer is no, maybe now is the time to finally get your garden looking its best.
Enjoying time outdoors has proven benefits to our physical and mental wellbeing, so there is no doubt that once Clearspace Groundcare Solutions have helped you create your dream garden you’ll be feeling happier, and here’s a few reasons why…
A Treat For The Senses
A beautiful garden is a treat for the eyes, nose and the ears and can truly awaken your senses every time you walk into your garden. Just looking at a stunning outdoor space evokes feelings of calm and wonder, giving us a connection to nature that we don’t get nearly as much as we’d like to. Put simply - when your garden looks good, you feel good!
Everyone has their own preference and style ideas, and Clearspace will work with you to achieve your vision, but for me, there is something soothing (and oddly satisfying!) about a symmetrical garden, with neat lines and tidy corners. Along with an aesthetically pleasing space, will come an array of amazing smells, from freshly cut grass to rose bushes in bloom, the perfume filled air will guarantee you take a few deep breaths, giving your nose a treat and your happiness a boost.
The ears of course cannot be overlooked – an outdoor space filled with beautiful plants will undoubtably attract the beautiful British wildlife and the harmonious sounds they make.
It’s an honour to see the variety of animals that have chosen your garden to call home, or perhaps they are passing through and have stopped for a quick snack. Either way, listening to the birds tweeting away, is a moment to be savoured, whist drinking your morning coffee or catching up with the news.
A Place To Relax
It’s no secret that we live in a face paced world, always thinking about where we’ve got to be or what we’ve got to do next, so it’s no surprise that a lot of us feel stress at some point throughout our lives. You may already know this, but plants have been proven to reduce stress, (there’s lots of science around it that we won’t go into) but simply surrounding yourself with gorgeous plants can improve your overall wellbeing and lower your stress levels.
Gardening is now even being prescribed as therapy for patients who are suffering from depression. Your garden can also be a place where you can take your mind off the day to day and create your own space to be proud of and enjoy.
From reading a book, to exercise and meditation, the ways you can enjoy your garden are limitless, once you take the step to create it. You can turn your garden into the perfect place to pause, take a minute and balance the mind, body and soul.
A Space To Share
Our gardens were often the place where we made many happy memories as children and there are so many more memories to be made! Spending time with family, friends and even pets is a guaranteed way to improve our happiness, so having an outdoor space that is both practical and beautiful, means you and your loved ones will be able to enjoy the space together for years to come.
There is something so existentially British about spending time in the great outdoors, sure, we may not always have the best weather, but even that isn’t enough to stop us!
Perhaps a summer house for an Al Fresco afternoon tea is right up your street, or maybe a large decking for family Barbeques is more your thing – there are so many ways your outdoor space can be used as an extension to your home, and it’s a great way to pull the kids away from their devices get some of that all important Vitamin D (weather permitting!).
Healthier = Happier
Your garden is a great space to get active and it’s no secret that exercise and happiness go hand in hand. Gardening encourages people to get active, whilst enjoying a hobby - win win! Whether you would prefer a low maintenance garden, where you can exercise in an open space, or maintaining your garden is your ideal form of exercise, Clearspace Groundcare Solutions can help you achieve the space to suit your needs.
If you’re looking to tick another healthy box, studies have shown that people who grown their own vegetables, eat more of them in their diet, so if it has always been a dream of yours to grown your own vegetables, we can work with you to design a space to make that dream happen - and everyone knows that home grown vegetables always taste the best!
