Ideas for Quiet Outdoor Spaces

Double Cascade by Jan Johnsen


Roberta Chinsky Matuson is an expert on increasing profitability by maximizing employee contribution. Her website is www.yourhrexperts.com. She writes that quiet people are often the most productive, explaining that,

Being quiet strengthens focus and calms others.

Being quiet gives you the space to delve deeply into ideas.

She says," at the end of the day, it’s not about the noise one makes, but what one actually gets done."



So it follows that a workplace should provide quiet spaces that encourage productivity!

I hereby suggest to Google, Apple and Microsoft, among other businesses that they include Serenity Spaces for their employees to work in....(I can show you how to create them)

A few ideas:

Cascades and fountains







Shaded benches or nooks








Reflexology Paths to enhance concentration.







Zig Zag Bridges








and lots of outdoor outlets!

  6. It's a little bit like the tortoise and the hare I think. Calm, quiet and steadfast always over achieves flashy and racy, even in the garden!

  7. These ideas are brilliant! I am so jealous that you were able to see these awesome additions of landscaping in real person. The zig zag bridge is absolutely breath taking. I have a similar stone pathway, leading from my patio to my garden. I am constantly trying to keep it clean from falling leaves. The leaf collection was starting to get on my nerves, so I went out an purchased a leaf mulcher. Now, after I blow off the leaves to the sides of my path, I use the leaf mulcher to chop and bag the leaves. You can use the excess leaves in your compost pile if you have one. Try it out if you have a leaf mulcher.
