The lowdown
Come slow down and explore the gardens in this small group, private session. Deep dive into your senses and the environment.
The Emu Valley Rhododendron Gardens are a world class garden, with a collection of over 24,000 plants, set within a tranquil woodland environment, native wildlife and even resident platypus.
A Forest Therapy walk helps you to notice things you may not normally see, to relax. Be guided through activities such as deep breathing, stretching and sensory immersion to enhance the health benefits of nature. Be inspired by science and poetry.
We will explore the gardens with all of our senses and conclude with a seasonal cup of tea.
