Fiann O'Nuallain - The Healing Power of the Garden
Fiann, a renowned horticultural therapist and holistic gardener, brings his wealth of knowledge and experience to this enlightening talk, where he explores how gardens can be sanctuaries for the mind, body, and spirit.
Simply being in a garden can significantly reduce cortisol and other stress markers. The vibrant colours, soothing aromas, and the tactile experience of touching plants all play a crucial role in altering brain chemistry, promoting self-regulation, and improving mood. Fiann explains how these sensory experiences contribute to mental well-being, providing a natural antidote to the stresses of modern life.
Gardening is not just a feast for the senses; The act of gardening is a form of physical exercise that engages various muscle groups, promotes flexibility, and enhances overall fitness. But the benefits don’t stop there. Gardening can foster a sense of accomplishment, boost self-esteem, and provide a profound sense of connection to nature.
Fiann will also delve into the world of herbs and healing plants, sharing insights into how these natural remedies can be incorporated into daily life to promote health and wellness. Each of Fiann’s talks concludes with a unique “safari plant” experience. This engaging finale invites participants to discover and connect with a particular plant, learning about its unique properties and how it can contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
Discover how the simple act of spending time in a garden can transform your life, bringing harmony.
