This comprehensive and authoritative guide offers an evidence-based overview of healing gardens and therapeutic landscapes from planning to post-occupancy evaluation. It provides general guidelines for designers and other stakeholders in a variety of projects; as well as patient-specific guidelines covering twelve categories ranging from burn patients; psychiatric patients; to hospice and Alzheimers patients; among others. Sections on participatory design and funding offer valuable guidance to the entire team; not just designers; while a planting and maintenance chapter gives critical information to ensure that safety; longevity; and budgetary concerns are addressed.
