How bamboo in the garden helps reduce stress

Bamboo is good for your health and not just for their visual beauty in your garden. Garden bamboo absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen which not only freshens the garden air, but also helps eliminate harmful toxins. Extensive research by NASA has revealed that bamboo in gardens can remove up to 87% of air toxin within 24 hours. An increased level of oxygen in the air improves concentration, productivity, reduces stress levels and boosts your mood. Replacing typical fencing with a natural green bamboo fence in your garden helps us to feel more relaxed and calm which in turn benefits your everyday mood.

When you have a more natural garden you are more drawn to spending extra time there, getting outside, breathing fresh air and unwinding especially after a busy days’ work. Creating your own little oasis in your garden doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. Planting perennials which are low maintenance and drought tolerant like the Gracilis Bamboo are key in ensuring that you don’t become a slave to your garden. If you are keen to go a step further, why not think about also adding in a water feature to attract birds and greaten the calming affect your garden can have on you.
