It’s May 3, so that means it’s Garden Meditation Day! Created by C.L., otherwise known as The Garden Lady. She believes that gardens can help us connect with our true selves and get closer to Mother Nature.
To help you get your inspiration on, here are our Top 5 Meditative Gardens in the world. So settle in, take a deep breath and relax.
La Maison Lavande (Canada)
Located in Saint-Eustache in the Canadian province of Quebec, this agri-touristic site for La Maison Lavande is open from June to October and the merchandise shops are open year-round. Moreover, you can take a guided tour of all that this family-owned lavender paradise has to offer! Settling in for a picnic in a field of lavender? Yes, please!
Portland Japanese Garden (USA)
The Portland Japanese Gardens are found in the hills of Oregon’s iconic Washington Park and looking over the city of Portland. Stretched out over 12 acres, you will find eight different gardens and a breathtaking view of Mount Hood!
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens (USA)
A haven for bird-watchers, the gardens are known for their collection of rhododendrons – a hard to find and fragrant blossom that thrives in the Northern California coast thanks to its climate. Moreover, a variety of plants also bloom there from spring to fall, including cacti and succulents. The gardens are under the care of the non-profit agency, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens Preservation Corporation.
Dorothy Clive Garden (United Kingdom)
A beautiful sight nestled in England, this charming English garden has walks that will take you up some hills to a view of the gardens below. Additionally, top it all off with a delightful tea room and homemade food and that’s a perfect day if you ask us!
Tofino Botanical Gardens (Canada)
The Tofino Botanical Gardens is 12 acres of garden, forest, and the beautiful British Columbia shoreline. Therefore as you roam, you’ll get to admire the outdoor art installations, including a memorial exhibit to commemorate the 2011 tsunami. With various pathways guiding you through all sorts of gardens, they are dedicated to cultivating and displaying plants native to the world’s coastal temperate rainforests.
And there you have it! We hope this helps you to find some zen and add a bit of beauty to your day… so go ahead! Stop and smell those roses because that’s what today is all about.
In addition to that, if you want to share your garden with the world, use the hashtag #GardenMeditationDay and show us where you find your zen!!
