Water gardens, with the help of developments in biophilic design patterns and documented research, have been recognised as providing a whole range of health and wellbeing benefits including lowering stress, heart rate and blood pressure through to improved concentration and perception and memory restoration. Through the thorough design of water gardens, whether that be in the form of natural flowing creeks and lakes or more formal ponds and water features, the correct use of water will be adopted to ensure the landscape delivers on the many benefits on offer.
