A SOFT FASCINATION FOCUS
A highly beneficial state of "effortless attention".
As our name implies, we are not just about indoors or home- based visits. We promote a nature based approach to brain health, personal fitness and social interaction. We encourage you to incorporate some kind of natural exploration in your weekly Alder Garden visits. This can be through short, meditative walks in your own yard or down the block. Try to immerse yourself in a guided Nature Journal with your creative companion. Go on a light hike nearby. The benefits of getting to know the natural elements all around you are without parallel. At Alder Garden we want to help you benefit to the full.
