Well-Being Gardens for People and Pollinators

Honoring a tradition by reconnecting people and nature

We create gardens that help people find peace, support endangered pollinators, and experience the healing power of nature. Rooted in folklore and designed for the modern world's complexities, our gardens are sanctuaries where people and pollinators alike find healing and comfort.

Tell the Bees Partners with Charles River Recovery

A New Garden to Support Healing and Connection in Recovery

We are honored to announce our partnership with Charles River Recovery to design and build a Tell the Bees garden on their campus. The garden will provide a restorative space where patients can connect with nature and find peace during their recovery journey. The garden will also support endangered native pollinators, creating a space that nurtures both people and the planet.

Building upon the ancient custom of “telling the bees” our gardens are pollinator havens that heal, restore, and nurture personal well-being, while at the same time nurturing the health and well-being of endangered pollinators. Our designs focus on three core tenants:
