Some gardens could be called healing gardens, for all plants and all gardens are intrinsically appealing and beneficial to humans. Plants are living and somewhat sedentary so they provide a relaxing environment, providing a sense of being in tune. Plant walls are a perfect example of this kind of living space.

The term healing gardens or healing plants is most often applied to green spaces that specifically aim to improve wellbeing. These gardens provide a place of refuge, relief from symptoms, stress reduction and improvement in overall sense of wellbeing and hopefulness.

Another term that is sometimes used is ‘eco healing’. This green healing allows us to maintain balance and provides a great natural space.
