Garden of Balance is a place of positive change, safe space for people suffering from job burnout, depression and anxiety. It's an open space (organised on undeveloped green belts given from the city or private individual, as well as gardens cultivated in moblie containters that can change their location depending on duration of land lease), which by common growth of herbs, colorful flowers, plants and care for apiaries allows the person to regain inner balance and mental peace. It facilitate integration, makes a person feel needed, creates coherent interpersonal relationships and social bonds and restores self-confidence. It's a space that creates relationship between nature and man, full of respect and understanding.
GOB is a sensory-therapeutic-sensual garden, center of relaxation, meetings, inspiring activities, gardening and beekeeping workshops where under the care of volunteers (professional therapists, psychology students) common goal is being achieved.
GOB not only allows you to commune with nature, but is also cultivated with its audience in mind. The fruits of one's labor, i.e. herbs, honey and flowers are picked up by cocktail bars, which by including these products in their menus join the action promoting and supporting the garden. Each product used in the cocktail is a percent added to the bill for the GOB foundation, which helps in the treatment of depression and proffesional burnout. Every guest who buys a cocktail with a product made in the garden will get a gift in the form of a small sachet with aromatic herbs.
