Since 2022, Pamlico Rose Institute Executive Director Robert Greene Sands has designed/co-designed wellness gardens in North Carolina. Each garden fosters a shared vision; to grow wellness in underserved communities through nature, connection, and creative expression. While the context, size, and populations served vary, all gardens embrace a nature-based wellness (Biopsychosocial-Ecological -BPSE) approach. The gardens are spaces that reflect in design and function the surrounding natural setting while embodying the bounty of healthy living/wellness benefits of nature.
