Healing Gardens

Healing Gardens incorporate healing  principles into the environment, ensuring the presence of tranquility, beauty, comfort, and safety for the benefit of the patients, families, visitors and staff.  Healing is enhanced in peaceful, serene environments with access to natural light, sound, smell, and touch.  Garden highlights, flowing water and waterfalls, natural plantings, pathways and seating areas, artwork, and green spaces filled with life promote healing.

Therapeutic Gardens

The calming power of a therapeutic garden will help restore the patient’s nerves, speed injury recovery and comfort patients through the transition to a healthful existance .  A calm patient is better able to cope with stressful treatment, diminishing the damaging effects of stress on the healing process.

Garden Designs

A garden design that is full of life, promotes healthy living.  Bringing Mother Nature into the healthcare system helps the restorative process in the human body.  Attention to detail makes patients more comfortable.

Environment and Healing

Healing Environments are a series of outdoor spaces designed to have measurable therapeutic outcomes.  We design these garden to benefit the greatest number and widest range of users.

• A range of Healing Environments;  all scales, multiple spaces where every space can have an impact
• Knowledge of a vast Array of Research; views of Landscaped areas reduce time of recovery, staff retention and happiness, and increases marketability in competitive area

The marriage of Landscape Architecture and Medical Care serves to lower health care costs, improve patient recovery, raise staff moral and promote healthy living.
