I spent some quiet time in the backyard with my camera. I love finding the discipline to minimize my movements so I don't startle the bees. It paid off today as I captured them sampling the catnip flowers (a local favorite)!

How to Design a #SensoryGarden
A sensory garden utilizes all five basic senses to engage the visitor in unique ways. Horticultural expert Sarah Jay talks about concepts for designing these spaces!
by Sarah Jay, February 13, 2025
"Creating a sensory garden is a rewarding experience, no matter the reason. Upgrading an existing garden to include sensory elements is just as beneficial, enhancing the space for everyone who enters it.
"Whether you’re working in a public-facing garden or one in your backyard, incorporating sensory elements is easy. Engaging all five senses not only enriches the experience but also deepens your connection with the plants and natural elements around you.
"Let’s explore sensory gardens and what goes into them. We’ll take a brief look at their history and discuss how you can plan and implement your own sensory space at home or wherever you garden."

‘Into the Wild’: A meta-synthesis of talking therapy in natural outdoor spaces
This Meta-synthesis highlights the benefits of holding therapy sessions in #nature, which can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance emotional well-being. While outdoor therapy offers unique advantages, such as greater openness and connection with nature, it also requires careful consideration of client suitability and professional training.
"Summary:
This article explores the benefits of conducting talking therapy in natural outdoor settings, which can reduce stress and improve mood. By integrating therapy with nature, practitioners enhance emotional well-being and encourage open expression. A review of 38 studies involving 322 practitioners and 163 clients outlines best practices and techniques.
Outdoor therapy ranges from using nature as a calming backdrop to actively incorporating the environment into sessions. While challenges like client suitability and professional training exist, the study highlights its growing potential in mental health care. However, a few limitations were identified such as potential distractions, lack of privacy, and lack of control around weather conditions."

The Weight of Wonder
Two nights before leaving for the Pacific Northwest, I find myself surrounded by wrinkled itinerary pages, hiking gear, and a dream I’ve carried for nearly half my life. What begins as a story about planning slowly becomes something much deeper: learning that simply standing in the place you’ve longed for can matter more than finishing every mile.https://perfectlyimperfectlife.blog/2026/07/19/the-weight-of-wonder/

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:

Creating #SensoryGardens for #Neurodiverse Individuals: A Guide to #Inclusive #OutdoorSpaces
By Elena, Sep 23, 2025
"Imagine a #garden that doesn’t just ask to be looked at, but to be felt. A place where the rustle of leaves is a gentle song, the scent of #lavender is a calming blanket, and the texture of smooth river stones is a quiet anchor. This is the essence of a #SensoryGarden designed for #neurodiverse individuals—a space that understands that we all experience the world in beautifully different ways.
"#Neurodiversity is the idea that variations in brain function—like #autism, #ADHD, #dyslexia, and others—are natural, human variations. Not deficits. And for many neurodiverse people, sensory processing is a key part of that experience. Some folks are #hypersensitive, where a buzzing bee can feel overwhelming. Others are #hyposensitive, seeking out #IntenseSensoryInput to feel regulated. A well-designed sensory garden caters to this entire spectrum, creating a sanctuary that can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and simply provide a much-needed refuge from an #overstimulating world."

Yesterday, I Needed Quiet
For the past few weeks, I’ve been sleeping more than I have in a long time. I’ll wake up only to fall back asleep again. Projects I’ve been excited about sit untouched. Chores around the house feel bigger than they should. I honestly don’t know why. Yesterday was no different. I almost didn’t go.https://perfectlyimperfectlife.blog/2026/07/05/yesterday-i-needed-quiet/

Chapter Seven: Return to Wonder | Perfectly Imperfect Life

241 Days Later
For so much of the last week, I have been focused on what felt broken. The Body Dysmorphia. The RSD. The exhaustion. The darkness that likes to lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to convince me that I am weaker than I really am. Monday reminded me that while those things may always be part of my story, they are not the whole story.https://perfectlyimperfectlife.blog/2026/06/23/241-days-later/
