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 Alzheimer's 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.
