Garden Design

The physical environment matters to human health and well-being.

Being in nature awakens senses and restores attention. This can be a passive or active process. Either way it is beneficial.

There is increasing evidence and creativity to make gardens work for the people who are in them, from the indoors or outdoors.

The therapeutic garden design process considers these issues with garden users in mind:

• safety, security and privacy

• accessibility

• physical and emotional comfort

• “getting away”

• engagement with nature

• maintenance

• aesthetics

• sustainability for both the people using the garden and nature

We believe in a collaborative design process and in using local materials and talent.
