How Flower Fields Enhance Wellbeing
In our fast-paced world, where technology often takes precedence, the importance of mindfulness and reconnecting with nature cannot be overstated. One of the most beautiful and beneficial ways to embrace nature therapy is by spending time in flower fields. These vibrant spaces, adorned with colors and fragrances, offer a plethora of benefits for our wellbeing.
Flower fields during the summer
What's in bloom?
During the summer, our field of flowers is filled with two new main flowers that are starting to bloom and are a breathtaking view and experience!
Creeping Thyme
The quintessential groundcover, Creeping Thyme Offers a low-maintenance approach to those areas that are particularly hard to maintain! Plant between pavers, within rocks, atop retaining walls, and watch as this perennial spreads beautiful lilac blooms with a citrus fragrance.
They bloom during the seasons of Summer through Fall.



Sunflower - Mammoth Grey-Stripe
If summer could be contained in a seed, it would surely be captured by Mammoth Grey-Stripe Sunflower seeds.
Tall, yellow blooms follow the sun with large, brown, iconic centers that transform meadows into paintings and gardens into childhood dreams. Expect 12' tall stems to carry 10" blooms!
They bloom during the seasons of Summer through Fall.

The solution
Flower power!
“Flowers lower stress levels and anxiety in people,” says Christine Capra, program manager at the Horticultural Therapy Institute in Denver. “Even stress levels related to depression are decreased by having flowers, whether it’s in your outdoor garden or in your home or going to visit a botanic garden.”
According to a 2005 study by professors from Rutgers and La Salle universities, flowers have “immediate and long-term effects on emotional reactions, mood, social behaviors, and even memory for both males and females.” Another study found that people recovering from surgery who have plants or flowers in their hospital room have better health outcomes and report lower feelings of pain, anxiety, and fatigue.
Surrounding ourselves with flowers, whether while visiting a botanical garden or witnessing a wildflower super bloom in person, may be as beneficial as “forest bathing,” a Japanese tradition of observing nature and breathing deeply that can lower stress hormones, heart rate, and blood pressure as well as soothe the nervous system.
