Detailed Design and Outcome
Refined Concept Statement
The problem of loneliness and academic stress is prevalent among students at UBC. The garden design aims to address this issue by providing a peaceful and healing space for individuals to rest, meditate, and exercise. The garden will feature a carefully selected variety of healing plants that create a calming and soothing environment for its users. The objectives of the garden design are to promote physical and mental well-being, community building, and personal growth. The design aims to offer a sanctuary that fosters a sense of connection, belonging, and healing for all who use it. The garden will encourage social interaction and provide a space for individuals to build meaningful connections, ultimately improving their overall well-being and academic success.

Plant Research
The study also found that inhaling three drops of lavender every 8hours for 4 weeks prevented stress, anxiety, and depression. (Europe PMC 2006)
Research suggests that it may be useful for treating anxiety, insomnia, depression, and restlessness. (Medical News Today 2019)
Researchers found that rosemary and lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil sachets had the ability to decrease test-taking stress in nursing students. The reduction in stress was measured through scores of test anxiety, personal statements, and pulse rate.
A trial involving university students discovered that rosemary supplementation reduced anxiety and depression and improved sleep scores. After 1 month of administration, the students’ anxiety scores improved by 18% while depression scores improved by 9%. The sleep scores improved by 14%. (P. Nematolahi, M.
