Garden Therapy

I can certainly vouch for the Auburn Japanese Garden as that is where I was married to my wonderful husband some years back. ! It's a magical place that breaths peace and the beauty of nature. You just got to watch out for the swans (yes, I was torpedoed by one lol and soon discovered I could walk on water 😂🤣). That raised the blood pressure a wee bit 😆

Another favourite place of mine to unwind and destress for me is the beach that I am fortunate enough to live in close proximity to - I try and go for daily walks along it. There is another tourist landmark In the Hunter Region North of Sydney that have acres of garden rooms - some with different Disney/storybook themes and some rooms having "old world" and cultural themes. They have a "Christmas lights spectacular" there every year at that time that is lit up like Disneyland for a certain period in the evenings. It's something else and sure to uplift.

Excellent, this is exactly what I was hoping for, new information about places to relax! Say, what are the equivalent beautiful places in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Cairns, Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne etc...

I completely agree @Former-Member. I love retreating into the garden to relax and reflect 🌱

How wonderful to have been married in such beautiful gardens too @Former-Member

There's an interesting article here about the role of gardens and gardening in mental health. It' can be quite rejuvinating to step away from technology every now and then, and step into nature.

Do you find looking at pictures of gardens or greenery to be relaxing too?

Gardens are ideal places for marriage. THeir beauty represents the beauty of the love that people share at the wedding. It is a beautiful place that lets one reflect on the merger of two families too. Not just the bride and groom.
