🌿Have you heard of forest bathing? Despite the name, there's no water involved.

Forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku, is the therapeutic practice of slowing down and mindfully immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, scents, and textures of the natural world.

With miles of woodland trails, towering trees, birdsong, and peaceful places to pause, the Gardens offers a wonderful place to begin your own forest bathing practice.

Curious how to get started? Our blog explores the history of forest bathing, the science behind it, and a few simple ways to bring the practice into your next visit.
