Welcome
to the Wellness Gardens
We
can hear the rumbles of Americans experiencing the deterioration
of our health care system from one of the best in the world to one
driven by pharmaceutical companies advertising directly to each
of us suggesting the drugs we should “ask our doctor for”. At the
same time we see hospitals operating without sufficient staff and
many closing completely. Frustration is building
as degenerative diseases such as cancer and diabetes reach epidemic
levels . We are living in one of the wealthiest
countries in the world yet wellness appears to decrease almost daily.
The
World Health Organization defines
health as “…a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being
and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. Their statistics
show America ranking 37th in the world and says “The United States
spends a great deal on health care but gains too little”.
We
believe the earth has great healing power. Horticultural Therapy
is one of the oldest disciplines known, yet abundant environments
emphasizing its benefits have been slow to emerge. We would like
to create healing gardens, combining horticultural
therapy with the increased awareness of preventive
health contributors to increase overall well-being
and try to turn this distressful trend around.
We
are not doctors or politicians simply students of tea who would
like to bring awareness to the Idea of healing gardens which is
both ancient and modern, however, throughout time, the benefits
to those who created them , and to those who used them,
remain INDISTINGUISHABLE!
