Wellbeing in Garden Design

Stress Reduction Theory – natural scenes

are most restorative

Nature has a unique ability to provide restoration

Biophilia – genetic response

to nature and ‘greenness’

Attention Restoration Theory – recovery of

‘directed attention’ through soft fascination

Wellbeing Garden By Matt Keightley

slide-55
SLIDE 55

We have an exceptional opportunity to inspire the nation with the hill top development and provide a platform that will encourage visitors to consider how gardens and gardening can help improve general health and mental wellbeing. What better way to move forward than to look back and remember the reason Wisley was first acquired by the RHS, to be used as a trials and testing facility. The results could be ground breaking.

Health and Wellbeing garden plan

  • VISITOR ACCESS PLAN

Visitor access and movement plan

The layout has been planned to optimise user experience, through interesting meandering paths, seamless links to the surrounding gardens and direct routes for members of staff. As the plan illustrates, there are infinite routes available, which will undoubtedly ensure an exciting journey, each and every time visitors head through the Health and Wellbeing garden.

Open Forum

I’d like to ask about involvement in plant trials. We took part in a couple but no longer seem to be in the loop

slide-69
SLIDE 69

Open Forum

I’d be interested in asking a question about promotion of Partner Gardens via RHS Social Media, including whether PG ‘feeds’ are monitored by RHS and reposted to the wider RHS followers

SLIDE 70

Open Forum

Our garden is 25 minutes from Rosemoor and it would help if there could be a more collective approach to the marketing of

  • Rosemoor. “Come to Rosemoor and spend time while in North

Devon visiting Castle Hill, Marwood , Hartland Abbey, Tapeley etc”. We are happy to allow RHS members here for free and it would seem only fair that you help us increase our footfall in return
