"Growing Flowers
Stimulates ALL Your Senses"

Growing flowers in your garden, around the house or even in a windowbox stimulates senses and soothes stress.

Bach flower remedies have long been in practical use throughout the world. More and more of us are beginning to appreciate the natural beauty of flowers.

Flowers encourage the creative artist in all of us! Just imagine the possibilities;

Colour

Splashes of random colour around your garden bring life to dull corners, drawing the eye and attracting butterflies and bees.

Or take up a colour blending project. Yellow blooms in the spring, blue in summer etc;

Search through garden catalogs. There's a large selection you can get for FREE on this page... Garden Catalogs

You will be wonderfully surprised at the available colours in your favourite flowers. I imagined lilies always came as white and the arum variety. Apparantly not! Find out more about lilies on this page...Lilies

Don't limit yourself to ornamental flowers. Grow a few flowering herbs or edible flowers as well. Whatever way you grow your flowers they will be a sight to delight in!

Perfume

There is no other more natural perfume than the perfume of flowers. Growing flowers in your garden, especially highly scented flowers, makes all unnatural perfumes smell, well ...unnatural!

Highly scented blooms include roses, lavenders, wallflowers etc; Some roses don't have any scent, so check before you buy.

Flowering herbs will set the atmosphere alight with intoxicating perfumes. Treat yourself and your sense of smell!

Sound

Yes, growing flowers can create beautiful sounds in your garden. Bees, humming birds and other 'music making' creatures will delight in the new venue.

Lots of flowers will draw the crowds to you, while you sit in the audience and enjoy!

You're allowed to touch, and even caress the growing flowers if you wish, and it's an awesome experience when you do.

Choose velvet smooth roses and other blooms that have a smooth texture to their petals. Gently touch them while they sway in the garden breeze, or let them drop naturally and stop to feel the wonders that nature creates.

A beautiful dress made from aromatic rose petals must be the most romantic notion on the planet!

Taste

Can growing flowers really stimulate your fifth sense? Course they can. There are lots of edible garden flowers that grow easily in most gardens. Nasturtium for example is a highly useful plant. You can pick the flowers directly off the plant and eat them.

Grow lots of flowering herbs around the garden. Read our Garden Herb Pages for ideas on what to grow.

NB: Don't eat any plant unless you're absolutely sure it's safe to do so. And always triple check with your doctor or physician if you're pregnant or suffer with any serious illness.

Flowers really will stimulate all your senses....

Chew on a few purple chive flowers while listening to the band play.

Watch the spectacular show of swaying blooms and flying musicians.

Lie back and absorb your own aromatherapy healing and don't forget to touch and feel the force!

P.S. Don't limit yourself to summer blooms - there are many beautiful flowers that will grace your garden in the winter months. Flowering bulbs are easy to plant and often can be left to get on with growing year after year with little maintenance! Find out more about planting bulbs on this page...Planting Bulbs

Happy Gardening!
