The Lidl Healthy Mind Healthy Planet Garden is designed with sustainability in mind and demonstrates how mental wellbeing can be improved by stepping into nature, no matter how big or small the green space is.
Jigsaw, the national centre for youth mental health and Lidl’s official charity partner, recommends five actions that we can do every day to boost our wellbeing and support our mental health; Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning and Give.
Lidl’s garden provides simple ideas to support each of these actions. Visitors can get their five-a-day for mental health by connecting with close ones and chatting outside during the warm summer evenings in the seating area, being active with outdoor yoga, taking notice of the world passing by in the secluded mindfulness corner, learning something new by tending to a herb or fruit and vegetable patch, and giving back by supporting the environment with insect hotels and pollinator plants.
Svaja Vaicula is an award-winning garden designer living and working in Dublin. Passionate about plants and eco-gardening, she focuses on sustainable planting design. She does this through a number of methods, including creating borders for pollinators, encouraging clients to choose more naturalistic planting schemes, and working to improve the ecology of the soil in her clients’ gardens.
With a background in art and textile design, Svaja uses gardens as her canvas and plants as her paint, playing with colour and texture to create outdoor spaces that are in harmony with nature.
