Silence Is Golden Good For You!

- Susie Kearley

Silent Space

Silent Space is an initiative to provide silent spaces for relaxation in gardens across the UK. These silent spaces enable people to sit and experience the benefits of quiet time without being disturbed. They are typically set up for a few hours every week, so people can visit to relax and unwind. There are benefits in getting away from the constant noise and intrusion of our busy world, including stress relief and improved mood.

Nature Soothes

Immersing yourself in gardens or woodlands helps you connect with the natural world so you can appreciate all it has to offer. Absorb the sights and sounds of leaves blowing in the breeze and insects going about their business. This degree of focus takes you to a new level of consciousness, which has a calming effect, can reduce blood pressure, boost immunity, improve your mood, aid concentration, increase energy levels, support recovery from illness, reduce anxiety and help you sleep!
