Make your Patio an Outdoor Room
A garden will reduce stress and promote better health. Indeed, studies show that people can benefit physically, mentally, and emotionally by feasting their senses on nature.
A patio garden is an outdoor garden space generally used for dining or recreation that often adjoins a residence and is typically paved. Specifically, it may refer to a roofless inner courtyard of the sort found in Spanish-style dwellings.
Since most families practically live outside during the warmer months, the patio or deck becomes an outdoor room where the kids play from dawn to dusk and the parents hang out and relax.
Worthy of a place in any garden, if only for its fragrance, is the honeysuckle. (Lonicera). There are a number available of both climbing and shrubby habit all easy to grow.
The latest craze for hanging baskets is the flower Million Bells Latin: Calibracoa hybrid

Gardens Can Promote Good Health
It has been observed that when humans keep in touch with the natural world, their health may be better, although the contact is no more than seeing flowers, trees, shrubs, and birds through a window. This led a New York City hospital to plant a garden on its roof. It was "received fantastically, " said a hospital official. "It's been a morale booster for both patients and staff. . . . We see it having lots of therapeutic possibilities. " Indeed, studies show that people can benefit physically, mentally, and emotionally by feasting their senses on nature.

Design your Patio for Kids too
Keep favorite toys in a wheeled container or a wagon so kids can roll them outside to play. Help the kids keep their area tidy by limiting the number of toys that can be out at any given time, just as you do indoors.
Patios have become another room, a place where kids can play, or we entertain, cook and relax.
ps... kids love to grow and harvest their own food - Why not plant a salad in a container on your patio?
Especially for KIDS - just in time for summer!

- What a wonderful piece of work you've accomplished. Gardens do in fact relieve stress. It has to do with not only the visual colors but the smell and freshness of the flowers and plants. Artwork is also a stress reliever, especially if it really reflects your inner self.
