<p>A home should be a retreat from the noise and stress of the outside world.</p><p>So, what to do when the distractions of life and everyday clutter start to encroach on the spaces where we're meant to feel the most relaxed? One way to cultivate an environment that promotes presence of mind is to look East.</p><p>Timeless and aesthetically focused, Japanese design has long influenced Western architecture; it's seen in the early 20<sup>th</sup>-century Bauhaus movement and the work of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, among others. And the design concepts that attracted those visionaries are having a moment again.</p><p>Etsy named the Japanese concept <em>wabi-sabi — </em>taking pride in imperfection and accepting impermanence — a top design trend of 2018. <em>Japandi, </em>a combination of Japanese and Scandinavian design, is a trending hashtag.</p><p>Proponents of Japanese design principles say that incorporating them into your own home can make you <a href="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/lam/home">feel less stressed</a>. Whether your aesthetic is shabby chic, midcentury modern or California coastal, there are ideas and aspects of Japanese design that you can consider adding to your home and your routine.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/30922214_1834724263497204_101085671673823232_n(1).jpg" alt="japanese ceramic bowl on table" class="right_image" /><h2>Add the outdoors</h2><p>Wooden furniture, branches as décor, <a href="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/lam/articles/well-being/well-being/wellness-benefits-of-houseplants">houseplants and other natural elements</a> are essential aspects of <em>ryokan</em> design, Aasgaard says. There should also be plenty of windows to allow for a full view of nature. In the home, bringing in elements of the outdoors can be as simple as adding hardwood accessories in the kitchen. Or, incorporate driftwood, natural wooden sculptures or even a branch-based floral design into a room.</p><p>In Japan, the art of creating floral displays is called <em>ikebana</em>. The practice treats floral arrangements as more than just decorative elements — the designs go far beyond a hastily arranged burst of blooms. It's a thoughtful process, allowing the designer to meditate on nature, explains Hones. Incorporating a similar daily or weekly ritual, such as collecting and arranging seasonal flowers, branches or leaves, can provide the same meditative pause in your own hectic life.</p><h2>Let in light</h2><p><em>Shoji</em> screens — sliding frame doors covered in white paper — are emblematic of Japanese design. And while they serve a practical purpose to easily divide a room, they are also designed to enhance light and shadows in a room, allowing the shifting dynamic of the light to become a star player in an interior.</p><p>To apply this principle in your home, treat screens, drapery or shutters not merely as window covers but as devices for playing around with how the light falls in the room, and how that light makes you feel.</p><p>Mirrors, too, can be a key element in maximizing light, says Hones, who advises clients to add mirrors next to windows, to reflect outside greenery and allow even more sun and natural elements to enter the home. "Light sources should be dimmable and well-spaced, and use candles or lanterns to add to the glow of the space," Hones says. If you are incorporating sconces, consider the shadow or patterns they cast as an additional design element.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/18808751_1459120784152583_1112840423123976192_n(1).jpg" alt="cup of japanese green tea on marble surface" class="right_image" /><h2>Get undone</h2><p><em>Wabi-sabi</em> is a liberating design philosophy in that it revels in imperfection. Earthen materials such as mugs, plates and vases are commonly seen as having elements of <em>wabi-sabi. </em>If chipped or worn with age, these pieces are regarded as beautiful for having withstood the test of time.</p><p>Japanese design values craftsmanship over mass production. Owning fewer things that are made well, and, most importantly, that make you happy when you use them is far more important than buying new goods every few years, shares Asako Ueno, chief curator at Anzu, an online Japanese design shop based in Brooklyn, NY.</p><h2>Love what you have</h2><p>Do you have a friend who went on a decluttering streak, only holding onto items that <em>sparked joy</em>? While the phrase comes from Japanese author Marie Kondo's bestselling book <em>The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up</em><em>, </em>the sentiment is strictly rooted in Japanese design principles, namely that the things you use should also be the things you love — merging the beautiful and the practical.</p><p>"Japanese design philosophy is rooted in the concept that everything you own has energy, or <em>chi</em>," explains Hones. As an experiment, Hones suggests tuning into some of your furniture: How does your dining room table make you feel? What sort of meals did you have or conversations did you enjoy there? Learning to tap into the energy of your possessions can help you cull the things that you feel are bringing you down and remove them.</p><h2>Play with negative space</h2><p>In Japanese design, less is more, and sometimes, in a traditional <em>tatami </em>room (a space covered in straw mat flooring), the best furniture design is none at all. The concept of negative space, called <em>ma</em>, is a key element in Japanese homes. "When a room is empty, with only a few objects that take our energy, we are able to focus on what's most important," Hones explains.</p><p>While it may not be feasible to have a room devoid of furniture, minimizing the amount of furniture in each room (or putting away items when you're done using them) may help make you feel like you have less physical — and mental — clutter, too.</p><p>"When I do it, I imagine sweeping the clutter from my mind and starting the day anew," says Hones. For her, the simple task is just as meditative as it is practical. Which, after all, is the essence of Japanese design.</p>

Zen Den: Japanese Design to De-Stress Your Space

<p>For many kids, sleepaway camp — swimming in lakes and roasting marshmallows around a bonfire — is how summer is spent.</p><p>And then you grow up.</p><p>But you can recapture the spirit of those activity-packed, fun-focused days. Inspired by those carefree weeks in the woods, summer camps are making a comeback across the country — this time, for adults.</p><p>Their premise is straightforward and nostalgia-tinged: sleeping in tents, eating hot dogs (gourmet ones, of course) at communal picnic tables and making new friends. It's a trend that speaks to travelers' growing desire for engaging vacations — ones that lead to self-discovery or a deeper connection to nature — as opposed to just posting up poolside.</p><p>Today's travelers place value on things like pursuing a hobby or enhancing their relationships, and adult camps certainly tick those boxes.</p><p>Many adult camps also offer niche, immersive learning experiences like acrylic painting and grilling. For busy professionals and parents, a weekend away with a focus on fun can be rare — but it's important to carve out time for just that.</p><p>Whether you're a high-octane hiker or an ornithology enthusiast, here are five camp-like experiences to help you reconnect to those feelings of lightheartedness and joy you felt when you still fit comfortably in the top bunk.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_HERO_GRILLING_BRONWEN_0.jpg" alt="woman grilling meat" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>1. Belcampo Meat Camps, California</h2><p><a href="https://belcampo.com/meatcamp/">Belcampo Farms</a> is a 10,000-acre estate that raises sheep, goats, pigs and cattle in the idyllic Shasta Valley of Northern California. This is where curious home chefs escape to for one of the three-day "Meat Camps" every summer, where guests learn skills like knife sharpening, butchering, sausage making and open-fire grilling.</p><p>It's a unique opportunity for the groups of 25 campers to connect with the source of their food, and to have a bit of fun along the way. Aside from lessons about sustainable farming and hands-on cookery, the retreat includes mountain hikes, picnic lunches, sunset cocktails and family-style dinners. And, after a day of cooking and hiking, campers turn in for the night with a bunkmate in luxury tents (plush beds, butterfly lounge chairs, animal pelt rugs) designed by Shelter Co. dotted throughout the farm's orchard.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_BWP_0068.jpg" alt="chairs in a circle overlooking a lake" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>2. Adventure Aurora, Upstate New York</h2><p>Billed as an "elevated" camp experience, <a href="https://www.innsofaurora.com/">Adventure Aurora</a> is a four-day getaway meant to highlight nature in New York's Finger Lakes region. Campers' activities include bird watching, journal-making workshops, lakeside yoga and meditation, a lunchtime cruise on Cayuga Lake, guided hikes through nature trails and wine pairing dinners.</p><p>While this package requires a group booking (minimum 14 people), anyone staying at the Inns of Aurora can participate in the array of weekly communal activities, including tea-blending sessions hosted by the lodging's "Director of Serenity." During this class, guests gather around a table to learn about the flavor profiles and healing properties of various herbs, then create and brew their own blends.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_Red Mountain Resort 1.jpg" alt="view of the pool at Red Mountain Resort" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>3. Retreats at Red Mountain Resorts, Utah</h2><p>Choose your own camp adventure in the red-rock canyons of Southern Utah from the adventure, health and wellness retreats dreamed up by the curation team at <a href="https://www.redmountainresort.com/retreat-packages#adventure">Red Mountain Resorts</a> in St. George. Always wanted to pick up an instrument? Learn to pluck like a pro in all-levels ukulele lessons. Scramble over sand, lava and Navajo sandstone formations on a guided hike. Brush up on astronomy with an evening of stargazing and learn how to sleep better in a class geared to help improve bedtime routines.</p><p>No matter how you fill your days (or nights), the all-inclusive experience includes three healthy meals per day (dig in to an organic quinoa breakfast bowl or a pepita-crusted lamb with purple potatoes for dinner), wellness workshops and access to one of Utah's top-rated spas. And, if you showed up at camp solo, meet fellow campers by making a dinner reservation for one of the nightly seatings at the restaurant's Community Table.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_GC_Canopy_Tour_Bonsai_Testing_3_AndrewTaylor.jpg" alt="person zip lining over a forest" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>4. Epic Discovery, Colorado</h2><p>Those seeking a summer adventure that could also include the kids can head to Vail Mountain's <a href="https://www.vail.com/explore-the-resort/activities-and-events/epic-discovery/epic-discovery.aspx">Epic Discovery program</a>, designed for visitors to "learn through play" with experiential outdoor activities linked to environmental education. In partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Forest Service, Epic Discovery has set up a mountaintop wonderland.</p><p>"Fly" above the treetops on a sled on the alpine roller coaster, glide along a thousand-foot-long zipline with postcard-perfect views of the Rocky Mountain's Gore Range, scramble up a rock-climbing wall with 16 routes to the top, or hike an interactive forest trail dotted with installations about the local flora and fauna. And, in the summer, the ski runs at Vail Mountain become myriad hiking and biking trails. As for the après-adventure scene, there are several lodging options, including slope-side resorts and lodges with apartment-style units.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_0x675 copy_2.jpg" alt="Three Tee pees in a field at dusk" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>5. El Cosmico, Texas</h2><p>The rugged desert landscape of Marfa, a small town in West Texas that evolved into a hub for avant-garde art installations, helps set the quirky, holistic vibe at <a href="https://elcosmico.com/">El Cosmico</a>. Created by hotelier Liz Lambert, founder and chief creative officer of Bunkhouse which runs El Cosmico, this characterful lodging is spread over a series of stylishly decorated vintage trailers (think: 1950s Vagabond Camper outfitted with a comfy queen bed, AC and a wooden deck), along with a handful of yurts and safari tents.</p><p>Throughout the year, this campground for adults fosters a sense of community with nightly campfires and communal meals. And El Cosmico also hosts a series of festivals and events designed to "elevate the mind, body and creative spirit," including a ceramics workshop, water marbling with a textile artist and artisanal sourdough bread baking class. </p><p>These unplugged and interactive summer adventures are the perfect antidote to our busy, tech-driven lives. They say everything old is new again, and when it comes to reinvigorating our bodies and minds, the aphorism rings true.</p>

This Summer, Send the Adults off to Camp

<p>From the tranquility of an English country garden to the momentary splendor of an African desert in bloom, Mother Nature inspires far-flung journeys to glimpse her finest and most alluring work up-close.</p><p>But here's a secret: You don't actually need to travel far to behold plant life from around the world. Some of the most impressive green spaces in America are right in the backyards of major cities. These seven under-the-radar gems offer travelers a chance to immerse themselves in nature, while seeing a leafier, sweeter-smelling side of the country's urban landscape.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_Wave-Hill_Aquatic-Garden_credit-Wave-Hill-3_0.jpg" alt="pond with lily pads at Wave Hill Gardens" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>Wave Hill Gardens</h2><p><em>Bronx, NY</em><br /><br />Boasting views of the Palisades Cliffs across the Hudson River, the Bronx's <a href="https://www.wavehill.org">Wave Hill Gardens</a> has been a fresh-air retreat for New Yorkers for more than 175 years, including past presidents. Now, the 28-acre property — anchored by a renovated English-style country mansion built in 1843 — provides present-day travelers with a lush escape just 12 miles north of midtown Manhattan. The Flower Garden resembles a French impressionist painting brought to life, while the Elliptical Garden has converted the estate's swimming pool into a formal garden of native plants in an eccentric color palette.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_GreerLVhouse.jpg" alt="View of front lawn and mansion at Longue Vue House & Gardens" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>Longue Vue House & Gardens</h2><p><em>New Orleans, LA</em><br /><br /><a href="https://longuevue.com/">Longue Vue House & Gardens</a> is only a 20-minute drive from Bourbon Street, but it might as well be an entirely different world. The manicured property serves as one of the most cherished examples of architecture from the Country Place Era, an early 20th-century design movement where affluent Americans started adding massive gardens (like those they'd seen on trips to Europe) to their country estates. Tours of the historic mansion take you through decorated rooms, some of which were dedicated to specific activities like flower arranging and wrapping presents, and a porch filled with contemporary art collected from France. But, just as magnificent are Longue Vue's 14 garden areas including an interactive Discovery Garden for children.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_Desert-Discovery-Trail_Desert-Botanical-Garden_Adam-Rodriguez-1.jpg" alt="exterior of greenhouse at Desert Botanical Garden" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>Desert Botanical Garden</h2><p><em>Phoenix, AZ </em><br /><br />Next time you're in Phoenix, lace up your hiking boots and head to <a href="https://www.dbg.org/">Desert Botanical Garden</a>. The 140-acre natural attraction, which celebrates its 80th birthday this year, features five thematic trails that offer the chance to see towering cactus, plump succulents and desert wildflowers that explode with color. Among Desert Botanical Garden's collection of more than 50,000 plants are a 15-foot Euphorbia ammak from Saudi Arabia and Queen Victoria Agave plants from Mexico's Chihuahuan Desert. For an even more dynamic experience, plan your visit around one of the garden's regular performing arts events, like ballet recitals and dueling piano sing-alongs.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_09-055-17A.jpg" alt="elevated walkway through the trees at Morris Arboretum" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>Morris Arboretum</h2><p><em>Philadelphia, PA</em><br /><br />Philadelphia may have been crowned "America's Garden Capital" (boasting 30 gardens within 30 miles of the city), but visitors are still discovering <a href="https://www.morrisarboretum.org/">Morris Arboretum</a>, a hidden gem in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood. The 92-acre Victorian arboretum is home to some of the city's oldest and rarest trees, like a 250-year-old bender oak, a Tatar wingceltis from China that turns yellow in the fall and a cotton candy-scented Katsura tree, native to Japan and China. Kids will love getting a view of the forest from 50 feet high on the canopy walk and sitting atop giant robin's eggs in the Bird's Nest. Travel tip: The Morris Arboretum is open late on Wednesdays during the summer, so guests can lay out a picnic dinner lit by fireflies.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_International-Rose-Test-Garden6.jpg" alt="rose garden at the International Rose Test Garden" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>International Rose Test Garden</h2><p><em>Portland, OR</em><br /><br />Portland's "City of Roses" nickname makes perfect sense once you've experienced the fragrant <a href="https://www.portlandoregon.gov/parks/finder/index.cfm?action=viewpark&propertyid=1113">International Rose Test Garden</a>. Nestled within 410-acre Washington Park, one of Portland's oldest parks, the lush garden features more than 10,000 rose bushes that bloom from April to October, with their peak in June. This is more than just a perfumed place to stroll; it's the country's oldest continuously operating public rose test garden, home to varieties hailing from countries all over the world, including England and Germany. Check out the Gold Award Garden to see some of the most prized specimens or the Miniature Rose Garden, which contains pint-sized versions of the bigger blooms.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_Amphitheater.jpg" alt="Sibley Victoria pool at Fairchild Tropical Botanical garden" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden</h2><p><em>Miami, FL</em><br /><br />You may never make it to Madagascar, but at least you can say you've seen the island's array of extraordinary plant life if you visit <a href="https://www.fairchildgarden.org">Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden</a>. The Lin Lougheed Spiny Forest of Madagascar is just one of many unique plant collections at the 83-acre tropical botanical garden. You can also get up-close to exotic butterflies (like the Bamboo Page from Central America and Leopard Lacewings from Asia), tropical fish and rare plants at the Wings of the Tropics Conservatory. Explore one of the world's most important palm collections at the Montgomery Palmetum and see hundreds of orchids in Fairchild's rainforest exhibit. Don't miss the Sibley Victoria Pool, one of the only outdoor gardens in the U.S. to feature examples of the world's largest water lilies, the Victoria.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/web_GettyImages-172729510.jpg" alt="Inside the arboretum at Garfield Park Conservatory" class="hero_listicle" /><h2>Garfield Park Conservatory</h2><p><em>Chicago, IL </em><br /><br />For more than 100 years, <a href="https://garfieldconservatory.org/">Garfield Park Conservatory</a> has been reminding Chicago residents and visitors of the important relationship humans share with plants. Its eight indoor display gardens showcase living greenery from Madagascar to Mexico, earning the conservatory the reputation of having "landscape art under glass." If you're visiting with children, point out the Powderpuff Tree in the Show House — its fluffy fuchsia flowers look like something they'd see in a fantasy book. And in the warmer months, the 12 acres of outdoor gardens offer endless ways to commune and interact with nature, including beekeeping demonstrations and meditative walks through the winding labyrinth set in the Sensory Garden.</p>

No Passport Required: Secret US City Gardens Revealed

<p>What's a low-cost air filter and natural mood enhancer that can brighten just about any space? Nope, it's not some sleek new high-tech device — it's the common houseplant.</p><p>And it's having a moment.</p><p>Just ask Nadia Suzanna. As the owner of an eponymous floral studio in Queens, NY, Suzanna has found that plants have the marvelous ability to transform both body and mind. "There are wonderful ways we can share emotions we don't always express through flowers and nature," she says. "And plants, like artwork, have the ability to transport you. You're creating a space that is reminiscent of places, times or people that give you energy and power."</p><p>A multi-degreed professional with a resume that reads like a who's who of financial powerhouses, Suzanna pivoted five years ago from finance to florals. Not entirely new to this pursuit, Suzanna had practiced floral arranging as a stress-relieving hobby throughout her high-powered career.</p><p>But, as exciting as this professional reinvention was, it also arrived during a time of personal loss. "I had recently lost my stepmom to cancer," she explains. "As you get older and have these turning points in your life that are sadly punctuated by pain or loss or hurt, it brings a lot of things into focus."</p><p>Suzanna realized that plants could be a form of therapy — not just for herself but for others as well.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/plants_decorations_web_alt.jpg" alt="Side by side images of plants decorating a living room. The image on the left is of a tree against a window; the image on the left is a close up of the same tree and a table in front with smaller plants on top." class="hero_listicle" /><h2>Designing with plants</h2><p>One way to bring more green into your life is to think of plants as an interior design element, like artwork or a comfortable chair. When Victoria Smith, founder of the lifestyle blog <a href="http://sfgirlbybay.com/">SF Girl By Bay</a>, moved from her San Francisco, CA, apartment to a single-family home in Los Angeles, she immediately took advantage of her newfound space to create several vignettes with plants — both useful and decorative.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/PLANTING4_web.jpg" alt="overhead view of watering can along with 8 succulents and a container of soil with a spade " class="right_image" /><p>"I now have herbs growing on my window sill like rosemary, basil, sage and thyme," she says. Suzanna agrees that herb gardens are an easy way to harness the benefits of houseplants. She points out that they add to the design of your home, and provide a triple plant therapy package that touches on the environmental, psychological and dietary.</p><p>"I also have a huge fiddle-leaf fig in my bathroom that stretches across the tub, framing a window that looks out over the trees in the yard. I can lie in the tub and literally feel like I'm outside," Smith says.</p><p>A statement plant like Smith's fig can add vibrancy to a vacant space like a blank wall. Other plants (such as orchids, rubber trees or nasturtium) can soften edges and lead the eye, creating a focal point compared to parts of your house that you're not as aesthetically in love with. Ultimately, the right plant choices can result in an area that feels more inviting or provides a burst of creativity and inspiration to a work space.</p><p>Smith also has myriad potted plants adorning her porch that add a natural and welcoming pop of color to the exterior of her home. Of course, trying to mimic the look created by a professional photographer and photo stylist might feel daunting, but don't worry — just lean on the pros at your local garden center for help. "Find a nursery nearby that you trust — a small one if possible," she recommends. "They're not like the big box stores. I can ask them if one of my plants isn't doing well. They'll show you how to do things."</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/herb_garden_web.jpg" alt="2 images side by side of an indoor herb garden. The left side is a close up of the various herbs like basil in small pots; the image on the right is a wider shot of the herb garden lined up against a window above a white tiled sink." class="hero_listicle" /><h2>Benefits of reconnecting with nature</h2><p>Over the centuries, humans have learned to build modern nests inside four walls, surrounded by sheetrock and a bit of paint. The need to touch dirt and the things that grow in it, however, is real and instinctual. It's part of slowing down, logging off, and reconnecting with nature and where we come from.</p><img src="https://www.lifeandmoney.citi.com/rcs/lifeandmoney/storage/public/OFFICE9_web.jpg" alt="2 succulents sit on a light wood table. In the background is a large green plant in a white pot on a pedestal; and some art on a wall" class="right_image" /><p>When Suzanna takes a moment to consider the reasons behind her business' blossoming success, she comes to two conclusions: First, customers use the arrangements as a way to communicate complicated feelings to friends or family. And, second, those recipients, in turn, boost their emotional well-being by caring for them. "It's a powerful thing to realize that you're being thought of — that someone is holding you in their heart," she explains. "It really does something for a person's mood and spirit."</p><p>Ready to brighten up your home or work space? Consider these four pointers on plants from floral designer Nadia Suzanna.</p><ol><li><strong>Short on space?</strong> Try containers or terrariums. These self-contained bursts of life often thrive in a closed environment without much care and — if you're the redecorating kind — can be easily moved around.<br /><br /> </li><li><strong>Use plants as artwork.</strong> Suzanna sees a huge trend toward hanging and wall-mounted plants. It gives you dimensional artwork and makes use of your vertical space.<br /><br /> </li><li><strong>Get colorful.</strong> Many customers only think of green plants, but Suzanna nudges them to add a burst of colors and scents in the form of flowers — say, peace lilies, orchids and croton — as well as herbs such as lavender or ornamental oregano.<br /><br /> </li><li><strong>Be focused.</strong> Create a singular focal point with your design. Suzanna loves to see a bonsai on a countertop, a large tree — such as a fiddle-leaf fig — near a window or even climbing plants shooting up a wall.</li></ol>
