Wild Growth – Less Control, More Peace of Mind

A nature-friendly garden has many benefits. For one, it’s sustainable: it uses natural materials, native plants, and resource-conscious construction methods. And that’s not to mention the valuable contribution we can make to wildlife and biodiversity. But there’s one significant benefit that often goes unnoticed: a nature-friendly garden is relaxing.

In a well-designed natural garden, things that would need to be tended, watered, and kept in shape in a conventional garden are free to change and grow. The idea is to take a breath and allow change and growth. Nature is given room to flourish. Wildness and life are showcased in a harmonious, thoughtful way. Flower meadows charm us with their beauty, while ruderal areas have character. Overgrown piles of stones and branches are full of wild inspiration.
