Muscular Dystrophy UK Forest Bathing Garden is a sanctuary for those affected by a muscle wasting condition. It seeks to showcase how an immersive, yet accessible garden can offer a place of refuge to patients, their families, and clinicians at the time of diagnosis and beyond.
The design of the garden is inspired by the ancient Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, which means bathing in the forest atmosphere and reconnecting with nature through our senses. The garden seeks to awaken imagination and innate connection to nature by bridging the gap between us and the natural world.The planting is inspired by a birch grove, with more than 40 trees enveloping the garden and creating a forest-like atmosphere. At the core of the garden is a central hub with sculptural flint walls. It provides a sheltered space for people to meet and share their experiences outside the clinical environment.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
The leading charity for over 60 muscle wasting and weakening conditions. For over 60 years, Muscular Dystrophy UK has been building a community of individuals living with muscle-wasting or weakening conditions, families and carers, scientists, health professionals, supporters, volunteers, and donors. Making advances that would have been unthinkable just ten years ago.
The garden has been relocated to The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow. The hospice provides care and support for people who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, including patients living with muscular dystrophy . The garden will provide a unique outdoor space for patients, their families, and the local community to experience the many benefits of an immersive woodland garden to physical and mental health and wellbeing.
