In The Beginning…

 

A Natural Bliss, Healing, Relaxing, and Inspiring Through Nature….Was conceived in the spring of 2000 as an inspired thought born to the owners Preston & Leslie. They were wanting to create more than just a landscape company, they wanted to involve people in the garden, to help people reconnect with the Earth, Relax the stress levels down from everyday life, to have simple, healing remedies on hand and guidance on how to use those different remedies, to Inspire them to relax and unwind all while having a little piece of Bliss that they could call their own. 

Healing… When Preston was in school for landscape design, he began to learn about and see the profound effect that horticultural therapy had on his clients.  Horticultural therapy does many blissful things…it was developed to help the elderly, troubled teens, inmates, and the disabled unite with nature through gardening. In Alzheimer’s and dementia patients it has been found that their cognitive function and energy levels increased more than ever thought possible. Inmates and troubled youth learn to care for something when they might have never had that chance before. The planting of a seed, nurturing it, watching it grow and producing fruit and flowers, these rewards have given them passion for and respect of life. It can help children with disabilities have outdoor activities to participate in, while helping to sharpen there brain and motor function. If horticultural therapy has this effect on these clients, imagine what it can do for the everyday gardener, being able to evolve all of their senses, the smell of thyme freshly picked, the beautiful color of the bright orange poppy’s, the taste of fresh tomatoes from the garden, the soft touch of Lamb’s Ear, and the symphony of the rustling Aspen’s near by. Gardens produce vitality and a connection to the earth that we all need for balance and happiness.

Horticultural therapy was the initial inspiration for the healing part of A Natural Bliss. As the inspired thought evolved, A Natural Bliss has teamed up with a certified herbalist, and a Naturopath to take it to the next level.
