How to Make a #SensoryGarden—the Landscaping Trend That Engages All 5 Senses
The growing trend is designed to help you #ConnectWithNature and practice #mindfulness.
Madeline Buiano, May 9, 2025
Excerpt: "Benefits of a Sensory Garden
Gardens are always beautiful, but there are many reasons why sensory gardens are specifically beneficial for the body, mind, and soul, including the following:
- #Accessibility: Everyone can enjoy a sensory garden. 'Equally, people with #disabilities can benefit from a range of sensory opportunities,' says Rebecca Lane, arboretum supervisor at #KewGardens. 'Visually impaired people, for example, can explore through touch, smell, and sound.' People with hearing impairments can enjoy the space through touch, smell, and taste.
- Mindfulness: The elements of a sensory garden help people practice the principles of mindfulness. 'The sense of touch sends a signal to the brain and nervous system, and we focus on feeling,' says Langelo. 'We start feeling in the present. We focus on a particular plant, and that becomes our world at present. This is mindfulness. It is a state of being present.'
- Stress and anxiety relief: 'In helping to awaken all five senses, these gardens reduce stress and anxiety for any individual and allow the individual to focus more clearly on their environment, which is the sacred space within the garden,' says Langelo."Learn more:

Look up to the sky…
Our first capture of the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), an emission nebula in Cygnus. It stretches roughly 10 light-years and glows as young, hot stars energize surrounding hydrogen gas. Its shape resembles a pelican’s head and neck—can you see it?

Reflections on the meaning of reciprocity and relationship with nature. My garden still only tolerates me I think, but I most definitely love it.

Look up to the sky...
Floating in Gemini, the Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443) is a 5,000-light-year-old supernova remnant—an graveyard of gas and dust. Its tangled filaments and shockwaves reveal the violent death of a massive star. Astronomers study it to learn how supernovae shape galaxies. We just admire the beauty! ;-)#stargazing #lookup #darksky #astrophotography #camping #seestar #connectwithnature #sky #jellyfish #Alentejo #deepspace #alltogether

The red-rumped swallows are fast fliers and they swoop on insects while airborne. They breed in open hilly country of temperate southern Europe and Asia. Their nests, build with mud collected in their beaks, resemble quarter-sphere with a lined tunnel entrance. But most impressive are their evening flight displays, while they hawk insects… they should not be missed!

Look up to the sky...
The Triangulum Galaxy, also called M33, is one of our Milky Way's closest neighbors, located about 3 million light-years away in the constellation Triangulum. It's smaller and less massive than both the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy. M33 has beautiful spiral arms and lots of young, hot stars.#sustainabletourism #connectwithnature #stargazing #lookup #darksky #deepsky #astronomy #nightsky #campinginportugal #astrophotography

Daylight savings time shifts our clocks around, but our circadian rhythms are also shaped by the natural world we belong to.
Gaian meditation encourages getting outdoors morning, noon, and evening - to observe, breathe, and reconnect with the real, natural world. A practice good for what one might call our soul, but also essential for our overall health and wellbeing.

An interesting episode on climate shift baselines. Thankyou.Australia still coming to terms with our first nation indigenous knowledge encompassed in oral tradtition of story lines and songlines and Caring for Country. A continuous culture that stretches back over 60,000 years, of Storylines that encompass last ice age ecosystem changes and sea level rise from 12.000 years ago. Knowledge of managing wildfire, vegetation and wildlife.
Thanks for updating us on Bilbo.🐕
