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. Their intention was to create more than just a landscape company; they wanted to involve people in the garden, to help them 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 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 & 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 their 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 involve 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 aspens’ nearby. Gardens produce vitality and a connection to the earth that we all need for balance and happiness. As the inspired thought evolved, A Natural Bliss has teamed up with a certified herbalist, and a Naturopath to expand the way you can use your landscape. To include the plants that help with your conditions and full instruction on how to use those medicinal plants.
Relaxing… The average vacation lasts two weeks a year; we were thinking you could vacation a little bit every night instead! A Natural Bliss offers a retreat away from everyday stresses. With three hundred plus days of sunshine a year, Colorado affords us the gift to enjoy outdoor living. A Natural Bliss can guide you in evolving your property into that relaxing, blissful retreat you deserve!
Inspiring Through Nature… as nature and its wonders have inspired us to develop such an organization, it is this inspiration that is the springboard for A Natural Bliss to create gardens to inspire you when you come home from a hectic day to your haven, Let us help you in creating your personalized garden that will create that balance and inspiration for all who enter!
