Although the healing qualities of nature have been recognized and relied on for centuries as a valuable part of convalescence, recent history has seen nature's therapeutic role virtually eclipsed by the technological dominance of modern medicine. As the twentieth century comes to a close and the medical community reacknowledges the importance of the environment to recovery, the healing garden is emerging as a supplement to drug- or technology-based treatments. Healing Gardens celebrates this renewed interest in nature as a catalyst for healing and renewal by examining the different therapeutic benefits of healing gardens and offering essential design guidance from experts in the field. Unique and comprehensive, Healing Gardens provides up-to-date coverage of research findings, relevant design principles and approaches, and best practice examples of different types of healing gardens. It begins by exploring what current research reveals about the connection between nature, human stress reduction, and medical outcomes. It then presents case studies and design guidelines for outdoor spaces in medical settings that include general, psychiatric, and children's hospitals as well as hospices, nursing homes, and Alzheimer's facilities. Historical information, literature reviews, and studies on use are included for each type of outdoor space covered, offering important insights into what works in healing gardens-and what doesn't. Generously supplemented with photographs, site plans, anecdotes, and more, Healing Gardens is an invaluable practical guide for landscape architects and others involved in creating and maintaining medical facilities, and an extremely useful reference for those responsible for patient care. A unique and comprehensive look at the therapeutic effects and design of healing gardens For more and more people, the shortest road to recovery is the one that leads through a healing garden. Combining up-to-date information on the therapeutic benefits of healing gardens with practical design guidance from leading experts in the field, Healing Gardens is an important resource for landscape architects and others working in this emerging area. With the help of site plans, photographs, and more, it presents design guidelines and case studies for outdoor spaces in a range of medical settings, including: * Acute care general hospitals. * Psychiatric hospitals. * Children's hospitals. * Nursing homes. * Alzheimer's facilities. * Hospices.

Therapeutic gardens are a very old practice in the area of health and, nowadays, they gained strength from the discussion about how the connection with nature can influence human well-being, in addition to the pressing concern for the environment that surrounds us, which includes health services, which are intended for the recovery, prevention and/or promotion of healthy states for all people who circulate there, not just patients. Brazil is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world. The implementation of therapeutic gardens is an action that promotes environmental, social and economic benefits, and thus contributes to the sustainable agenda. This guide, therefore, is an indispensable resource for professionals in different areas of knowledge, such as architects, biologists, botanists, landscapers, health designers, managers of institutions at all levels of health care, therapists, clinicians and other publics interested in health and nature.

Restorative gardens for the sick, which were a vital part of the healing process from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century, provided ordered and beautiful settings in which patients could begin to heal, both physically and mentally. In this engaging book, a landscape architect, a physician, and a historian examine the history and role of restorative gardens to show why it is important to again integrate nature into the institutional--and largely factorylike--settings of modern health care facilities. In this unique book, Nancy Gerlach-Spriggs, Dr. Richard Enoch Kaufman, and Sam Bass Warner, Jr., unfold their argument by presenting the history of restorative gardens and studies of six American health care centers that cherish the role of their gardens in the therapeutic process. These institutions are examined in detail: community hospitals in Wausau, Wisconsin, and Monterey, California; a full-care mental institution in Philadelphia; a nursing home in Queens; a facility for rehabilitative medicine in New York City; and a hospice in Houston. In their comprehensive review the authors suggest that contemporary scientific understanding clearly recognizes the beneficial physiological effects of garden environments on patients’ well-being. The book ends with a plea to make gardens--rather than the shopping mall atria so often seen in newly renovated hospitals--a vital part of the medical milieu.

"The aim of this book is not to compile a set of guidelines with systematic discipline, nor to act as a manual to be added to the already numerous publications on the design of Healing Gardens, rather it has attempted to extract - from experiences, projects and research - some principles aimed at highlighting the contribution offered by designers in treating, with equal dignity and equal purpose, the outdoor spaces as interior spaces in healthcare facilities." - Romano Del Nord, Director of TESIS, Inter-University Research Center "Systems and Technologies for Healthcare Buildings," Florence, Italy. "The book provides a narrative summary for urban planners and designers and, especially, health policy-makers and demonstration that consideration of health becomes an element of high importance in city planning. Presented findings of the relationship between physical and social dimensions of urban spaces and their association with health protection sought to pull together clear relevance public outdoor spaces have for public health and to encompass the wider social and economic determinants of public health." - Vladan oki, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, Serbia."

Gardens have been used as places for meditation, relaxation, and restoration through the ages. From the earliest times, gardens were used as sanctuaries and restorative places, providing psychological, spiritual, emotional, and physical health care delivery in Western, Eastern, and Asian societies. In the late twentieth century Roger Ulrich's (1984) scientific investigations showed the tie between nature's positive effects on human health and the ability of patients to recover from surgery faster. This and other scientific research gave rise to the creation of therapeutic gardens in healthcare facilities. Today, therapeutic gardens are designed to meet medical goals through activities known to improve human health - e.g., walking, socializing, massage therapy, etc. The intent is to support the patient's recovery in the medical environment, and to provide positive measurable results (Gerlach-Spriggs and Healy 2009). Conventional wisdom suggests that the most effective therapeutic gardens tend to be designed for a specific patient group, and those surrounding the patient - i.e., medical staff, family members, and care givers. Specific activities can be designed into a therapeutic garden that match the standards of care and therapeutic outcomes defined for a patient group. These may include: walking (physical therapy), planting (horticulture therapy), smelling (aroma therapy), viewing flowers and plants (chromotherapy, cognitive therapy), and all other therapeutic treatments aided by nature. Since a therapeutic garden often targets the deficits of specific patient groups, they oftentimes are not designed alike nor do they follow the same guidelines. This project identifies tests the idea that therapeutic gardens should be designed for the primary patient population and/or the secondary support personnel that care for a patient; it uses a hospice garden to test whether this notion of unique design is appropriate within the broader specialty area of therapeutic garden design. This professional paper is an exploratory study that examines the distinct benefits that a garden provides under hospice conditions. Unlike more traditional therapeutic gardens, the primary user group - i.e., the patient - quickly fades from the program elements, leaving three distinct secondary populations to being served - medical staff, family members, and care givers. Understanding the desired outcomes for these three populations helped the author broaden her knowledge and appreciation of the relationship between, and among, health care delivery, therapeutic garden goals/objectives, and standard treatment protocols. It is for this reason that this study attempted to define when standard therapeutic garden design protocols and goals are appropriate, and when the designer must go to a broader set of goals and objectives that address the health and wellbeing of a secondary "patient" group - i.e., those medical staff, family, and care giver who have been left behind. This paper is organized into four parts - a literature review, methodology section, data findings, and a conclusions chapter. The literature review section presents a general history of garden use in the treatment of patients and contemporary thoughts on gardens in health care delivery. It also discusses current needs for therapeutic gardens in hospice care, since hospice is the final stage in palliative care delivery. The methodology chapter begins with a typical request for a design project with solution, involving the Lake Superior Hospice Association and their property in Marquette, MI. At that time, a preliminary set of plans were completed, using the typical questions a designer would address with a client. Among the questions to be addressed were what are the specific characteristic of this hospice; what do we know about its users and their needs in terms of garden program? To broaden out an understanding of hospice environments, this preliminary set of plans were set aside to pursue a second and third phase of inquiry involving this evaluation of four other hospice facilities and their users in order to develop baseline data on the similarities and differences in hospices. It allowed the author to define a broader base of personal, professional and/or therapeutic benefits a hospice garden might provide to its users; it also identified other needs that hospices might have that were different from the Lake Superior case study. The chapter on data findings summarizes the investigation into hospice similarities and differences and is applied to the Lake Superior Hospice (LSH) Association in Marquette, MI in a final set of plans which can be found in the conclusions chapter. The paper essentially involved studying the pre-construction condition of a site with a narrow perspective on hospice garden design, which was then followed by a broader investigation of hospice facilities operating elsewhere, and using that data to suggest possible improvements (i.e., a metaphoric post-construction evaluation) in the original design that serves the LSHA more appropriately. This project will contribute to the advancement of landscape architecture as it continues its transition to an evidence-based profession. Findings from the case study and baseline data comparison was used to create a conceptual framework for decisions affecting garden design that serves patients, patient advocates, and hospice staff, who deal with end-of-life circumstances. The appropriateness of certain design elements under different hospice conditions - structurally, environmentally, managerially, and demographically - must be taken into account. This will provide better design outcomes that can be used to compare and analyze the decisions affecting therapeutic gardens in a hospice healthcare system.

In this book Gayle Souter-Brown explores the social, economic and environmental benefits of developing greenspace for health and well-being. She examines the evidence behind the positive effects of designed landscapes, and explains effective methods and approaches which can be put into practice by those seeking to reduce costs and add value through outdoor spaces. Using principles from sensory, therapeutic and healing gardens, Souter-Brown focuses on landscape’s ability to affect health, education and economic outcomes. Already valued within healthcare environments, these design guidelines for public and private spaces extend the benefits throughout our towns and cities. Covering design for school grounds to public parks, public housing to gardens for stressed executives, this richly illustrated text builds the case to justify inclusion of a designed outdoor area in project budgets. With case studies from the US, UK, Africa, Asia, Australasia and Europe, it is an international, inspirational and valuable tool for those interested in landscapes that provide real benefits to their users.
