Forest Therapy at Cranbourne Gardens

Sunday 15th September - Sunday 17th November 2024

Originating from Japan, shinrin-yoku, or forest therapy, is a preventative health practice that immerses your senses in nature. This guided wellbeing experience will bolster your mental and physical health by reducing stress levels, regulating pulse and blood pressure and elevating your mood.

Recognised as a public health practice in Asia and Europe, forest therapy is gaining global acclaim as an evidence-based, cost-effective and natural remedy – a ‘green prescription’ for a healthier you. Take in the soothing native landscape at Cranbourne Gardens.

This activity involves walking approximately 1.5km across the duration of the session. The walking route includes some mixed surfaces as well as off-path grassy areas. Please keep this in mind when making your booking, and feel free to get in touch if you are unsure.
