Mar Vista, California – NuVu Sober Living in Los Angeles is pleased to offer an expanded outdoor relaxation area, including areas set aside for residents to plant a garden.

The NuVu Sober Living house is a brand new, four-bed facility in Mar Vista that helps women recover from problems with addiction in a safe and nurturing environment. The house is located in scenic Mar Vista, and now includes an elegantly appointed outdoor area that has room for residents to tend to existing flowers and shrubs, or to plant a garden of their own.

NuVu Sober Living believes that while residents of a sober living house are working towards sobriety and full re-integration into regular society, it’s important that they have healthy and interesting diversions to aid in their recovery. Gardening has been shown to increase a feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction, and well being in people who try it. The NuVu house for sober living in Los Angeles understands the need to offer residents as many pleasant and stimulating diversions as possible, and they have added an extensive area of hardscaping and landscaping in the rear of their house to increase the area available for residents to enjoy outdoor activities.

The outdoor area at the NuVu Sober Living home includes a brick patio surrounded by a faux-stone retaining wall, lush shade trees, and an area suitable for barbecues and outdoor dining. This outdoor dining and relaxation area is just steps away from the home’s well appointed kitchen, so meals can be served using a combination of indoor and outdoor cooking facilities. There are also reclining chairs arranged around the patio area to increase the enjoyment of the fresh air from the Pacific Ocean nearby.

Directly off the lawn, each resident can make use of a patch of arable soil to plant whatever they like, or to simply tend to the multitude of plantings already in place around the entire perimeter of the home and yard. In order to make growing plants easier, the house is equipped with an efficient sprinkler system that irrigates the plantings to keep them thriving.

Residents at the NuVu Sober Living house in Los Angeles are encouraged to use the new outdoor areas to cultivate plants while they also cultivate a sense of personal responsibility and accomplishment by growing flowers in the garden.
