How do senses facilitate our relationship with nature and from that challenge the conventional understanding of a "garden"?
When we immerse ourselves in surroundings with senses, we realise we are initially part of nature and we aren't detached from it.
Therefore, we encourage you to re-sense and re-experience your surroundings using unconventional ways. This activity not only expands on the perception of what a garden is but most importantly, reminds us to perceive ourselves as nature and then we might discover anywhere could indeed become our perceived gardens.
Why do we need to feel nature?
"Feeling" is a sensory ability of human beings, and human beings are composed of sensory organs, which means that "person" is approximately equal to "feeling". And "nature" is the best toy to accompany people all their lives, it has infinite possibilities of discovery. Everyone's experience of the world is different, so it's worth exploring and appreciating. Perhaps you can also find your true self in nature. And then expanding our embedded perception of conventional picturesque of nature/gardening.
