From time to time I have the privilege of visiting large gardens that are either provided by the state or a private trust. I’m so thankful that these lands have been set aside and lovingly tended for our benefit. Those of us who live in “the treetops” especially need some gardeny terra firma to walk through and even sit in for awhile.
I don’t have time right now to look them up but I know there are studies concluding that when people spend more time outdoors, they’re happier and healthier. I know I am. Being in an outdoor garden setting, with some breathing room around, refreshes my soul. A mall just doesn’t do it.
