Benefits of Landscapes



I read an article the other day about the physical and psychological benefits of landscapes. In the article it said that “.... people find stress relief and healing when interacting with nature or even when just viewing na- ture on a computer screen or through a window. Children with ADHD seem to focus better after being outdoors (Harvard Health Publications). Workers are more productive as well when working in environments with plants, and cognitive function is improved.

But, perhaps more important than what science tells us, is what people in- stinctively feel about the plants and green spaces in their livesthat the connection makes their lives better, and they want to make an effort to incorporate it into their lives.

As the world changes and we have a greater reliance on technology, the affect of Nature Deficit Disorder will increase, and as populations increase, challenging resources and expanding urban and suburban areas, the landscape industry will play an ever more important role in helping con- nect people with nature in their homes, in their backyards, at schools and parks, and at workplaces, helping them reduce stress, relax, and sharpen the mind.”(https://www.loveyourlandscape.com/LYL/Lawn-Landscape/ Benefits-of-Landscapes/LYL/Benefits-of-Landscapes.aspx?hkey=efb3bede- 8419-4dff-bd3a-edc3d60008ad)

Now, I’m sure that these landscapes must have been nice and clean. I know that it isn’t very relaxing to be in your yard if it is a mess. We’ve spent the last few months cleaning up an area of our property. Boy, has it been a lot of work! But the end results are phenomenal! It is fun to be in that area now and it feels so good!

Have you noticed a difference in yourself or your family during or after be- ing outdoors? Our family loves to be outdoors, especially in the evenings.
