THE SOUND AND SMELL OF THE LANDSCAPE

Landscapes are often associated with sounds and sometimes smell

-        Towns have a lot of human made sound and smells

-        The rural country side might have other sounds and smells

-        Interviewing people about their emotions they often tell that smell and sounds can trigger
off reactions

-        Often smell, sound and visual experiences are combined – sometimes to the extent that it
is hard to separate

In horticulture therapy the combination  of smell, sounds and visual experiences are often
combined. Results are hard to measure , but seem to be promising
