Garden Sanctuaries for a Techno-World

Our society has rapidly become fascinated with, and dependent on, the tools of modern technology; most of us are tied to our cell phones, fax machines, and computers. In this very insightful article, landscape professional Maureen Gilmer explains why this preoccupation with the digital world creates a serious imbalance in our emotional and spiritual life. The "cold hard techno world" requires the counterbalance of garden and nature as the most basic therapy for rest and renewal. Maureen discusses several garden design elements--privacy, sound, image, comfort--and how these relate to the healing effects we can receive from our gardens. Look away from your computer for awhile...participate in the constant renewal and healing of nature.
