Experience the serenity of our urban oasis through a unique Forest Bathing experience.

✨ Guided by Karina Del Punta, Ph.D., neuroscientist and founder of neuroXnature, bringing together decades of scientific research and a lifelong dedication to exploring our relationship with the natural world.

Forest Bathing—or Shinrin-yoku—is a guided practice of slowing down, awakening the senses, and deepening presence through a sequence of gentle invitations that foster connection and reciprocity with the living world.

As you move through the garden—among palms, native trees, and the shimmer of the koi pond—urban noise gives way to birdsong and breeze. In this shared space of awareness, ordinary moments begin to feel extraordinary: alive, meaningful, and filled with beauty.

🌿 Evidence-based benefits include reduced stress, enhanced immunity, improved mood, and greater mental clarity.

You’ll learn how to create stunning orchid arrangements that are balanced, beautiful, and uniquely your own. You’ll pick up expert tips on positioning orchids in their containers, staking them for symmetry, and combining colors to achieve that perfect “wow” factor.

Orchids, starting at age 13 and working his way from the greenhouses to overseeing the nursery’s growing and hybridizing programs. He has traveled the world studying orchid trends—especially vandaceous orchids, R. F. Orchids’ specialty—and has exhibited at top international shows including several World Orchid Conferences and the Chelsea Flower Show. As a Senior Accredited Judge with the American Orchid Society, Michael will share insider techniques and knowledge you won’t find anywhere else. 

🌿 You’ll walk away with: 

• New confidence in designing with orchids 

• A deeper understanding of color, balance, and form
