Love this! I'm a nature therapist and green is widely seen in this field as a balancing, healing color. (It's in the center of the spectrum!) I love everything you've said about it, plus the ideas for designing landscapes with it.
💚 I’ve been to Giverny! I’m an artist at heart and still painting, for purpose lately. One of my mentors is also headed to Japan soon(ish) - I’m so jealous - and visiting another landscape architect there who came here to study. They met in school. So loved reading this and would super appreciate more posts on nature therapy, mental health, and creativity, Jan, and Jeanne. 🙏
PS Also love the Pittsburgh tie-in as I’m doing work there (as an associate) and have found such inspiration from revitalization and sustainable initiatives happening in the city - like you wrote this post for me 😊.
I am thrilled! Please get my book, 'Heaven is a Garden' - it is all about nature therapy and design. I lived in Kyoto and worked at a landscape architecture office in Osaka.
3 weeks! wow! Go to Nanzenji in Kyoto and enjoy that garden as well as Adachi which is not in Kyoto. Enjoy the coffee shops there too - they are so varied!

thanks so much! - yes green really does help us relax....I like to say, "Think Green Thoughts". :-)
That is perfect; I just might steal that ... Think Green Thoughts. 😁
Please do! I would be honored!

Yes, it’s a 3 minute read as stated. However, I’m going back to absorb all the detailed information . I’m “green” with inspiration!
Loved the hints on layering, size and placement of pots, and visuals.
