More than 100 years in the making, Exbury Gardens is a spectacular collection of landscaped woodland, herbaceous, contemporary, formal and wildflower gardens, in a unique riverside location.
Our sessions are held in the quieter, more remote areas of the gardens, to maximise privacy and minimise distractions. These are often not the areas with the most beautiful flowers, but as your ticket price includes entrance to the gardens for the rest of the day, you could stop for a bit of lunch and then explore the rest of the site after your experience.
Find out more about a typical experience by watching the short film below, visiting the overview page or reading the 'What is Forest Bathing' blog.
