BRITISH GARDEN CENTRES GUIDE<br />
Mood-boosting plants to<br />
enhance your wellbeing<br />
Plants have a remarkable ability to enhance our<br />
surroundings and positively impact our overall<br />
mental health and wellbeing. The British Garden<br />
Centres team explore some beautiful plants known<br />
for their mood-enhancing properties.<br />
LAVENDER<br />
Lavender, with its enchanting fragrance and vibrant purple blooms,<br />
is renowned for its calming effects. This versatile plant is often<br />
used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.<br />
WINTER JASMINE<br />
Winter Jasmine, with its intoxicating fragrance, is renowned for<br />
its mood-enhancing properties. This flowering plant has a long<br />
history of being used in traditional medicine to alleviate stress<br />
and improve sleep quality.<br />
CHOCOLATE COSMOS<br />
The chocolate cosmos boasts a luxurious, smooth brown<br />
blossom with a captivating fragrance reminiscent of vanilla and<br />
cocoa. Rest assured; the waft of chocolate scent carried by the<br />
wind will convert your garden into a serene sanctuary. Chocolate<br />
is associated with serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes<br />
relaxation, as well as the release of endorphins in our brains,<br />
fostering feelings of joy.<br />
BASIL<br />
Basil is a plant that can be grown both indoors and outdoors<br />
and has the ability to improve your mood. This herb contains a<br />
compound known as linalool, which helps to decrease our stress<br />
levels. It is particularly effective in reducing anxiety and promoting<br />
a sense of calm, and it possesses a delightful floral fragrance.<br />
SNAKE PLANT<br />
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance plant that also improves<br />
air quality, the snake plant is an excellent choice. Its unique<br />
vertical leaves and ability to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen<br />
make it a natural air purifier. By eliminating harmful toxins, this<br />
resilient plant can contribute to a healthier indoor environment,<br />
leading to an uplifted mood and increased productivity.<br />
PEACE LILY<br />
The peace lily is not only a beautiful addition to any room with its<br />
elegant white flowers, but it also acts as a natural air purifier. It<br />
effectively removes pollutants such as benzene and formaldehyde,<br />
commonly found in cleaning products and household items.<br />
ALOE VERA<br />
The aloe vera plant is a popular choice for both its soothing<br />
properties and decorative appeal in the home and garden. With<br />
its succulent leaves containing a gel-like substance, aloe vera is a<br />
natural remedy for minor burns and skin irritations.<br />
