Oriental Wellness Garden

WHY SHOULD WE ENJOY GARDENS?

Plants release phytoncides as part of their daily metabolic routines. Phytoncides are VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which have antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) effect that prevent plants from adverse environment, such as insects, animals, diseases and decomposition. When breathed in, they would enhance our immune system by increasing NK (natural killer) cells and thus reduce the risk of infection and cancer. In addition, gardens are the great holistic way to reduce anxieties and stresses, which in return, will improve our physical wellbeing. 

ORIENTAL WELLNESS GARDEN

Dr.Ray's Oriental Wellness Garden is an attempt to achieve a fusion of both Eastern and Western influences that offer a harmonic balance between serenity and eye catching pizzazz. The diversity of new plants push the bounds of what the landscape and nature will allow to thrive against this 1970's architecture. 

The garden has a good collection of medicinal herbs and culinary herbs from all over the world. Collectively, there are over 700 different plants, among which you will be enjoying the zenful ambiance, reconnecting with Nature and true self, and get energized.
