In our fast-paced world, the garden has become more than a place of beauty – it’s our sanctuary, our reset button, our path back to ourselves.
At Caragh Nurseries, we’ve always believed that gardens heal. Now, we’re taking that philosophy further with our wellness garden collection, creating spaces where the therapeutic power of nature meets intentional self-care.
The Science of Garden Wellness
Research shows that spending time in green spaces reduces cortisol levels, lowers blood pressure, and boosts mental wellbeing. When we combine this with purposeful wellness practices, we create powerful healing environments right in our own gardens.
