How to create a Nordic-inspired wellness garden

Garden is the room of life. It allows us to appreciate natural and small things around us, like the sun rising, the morning dew and wildlife awakening. Gardens allow us to discover and rediscover, not only about things around us, but about ourselves and others.

Lately, I had a wonderful chat with the magazine Homes & Gardens about Nordic wellness gardens, and how to create your own Scandinavian wellness backyard, where I highlighted spaces where to restore both body and mind.

” As the home of hygge, Scandinavia is renowned for cozy, feel-good interiors that are the epitome of cool. But with its stunning landscapes, it’s perhaps no surprise that the Nordic culture is deeply connected to the outdoors, too.

You may have heard the term ’friluftsliv’, which means ’open-air living’ – the Scandinavian concept of embracing nature for overall well-being. And, while this often relates to hiking and camping, spending time in your own backyard also has its benefits. If you incorporate a sauna or a wood-fired hot tub – other Nordic wellness traditions – even better.”
