Therapeutic Garden Design Workshop
August 13, 2016 @ 10:30 am - 4:30 pm
Clare Johnson, Horticultural Therapy Services Manager and Design Consultant, Chicago Botanic Garden
Therapeutic landscapes are a necessity in health and human service environments as well as in everyday life. They promote healing, reduce stress, and provide a place of respite for all who visit. When designing a garden for therapeutic purposes, it is imperative to address each of these principles: the program, the people, and the place. An outdoor green space will only become therapeutic when it is designed with the intended audience and programmatic intentions at the forefront of every decision. – See more at: https://www.usbg.gov/events/2016/05/21/workshop-principles-therapeutic-garden-design#sthash.QablKxOZ.dpuf
