The Planting

Grown here, used here

The beds are worked year round by two gardeners. What comes out of them goes into the treatment oils, and what does not is left to grow over.

The Orchids

Slow to open

Around four hundred plants, most of them phalaenopsis. They take their time. Several have been here longer than the building's current roof.

An hour in the garden

Garden bathing runs every day from eight. Sixty minutes, unguided.
