Title:
Rehabilitation in the Garden: Developing the Garden as a Tool to Achieve Functional Therapeutic
Outcomes
Marketing Statement:
Tour some urban healing gardens in healthcare and senior living environments and examine how they
work and what changes might help improve outcomes.
Learn how therapists and activity professionals
work and about specific garden elements to support clinical applications and the intended therapeutic
outcomes.
Summary:
Well-designed gardens provide functional, home-like settings for inpatient and outpatient therapies and
resident activity programs.
The relationship between the physical design of the therapeutic garden and
the rehabilitation programming is critical.
While designing the garden landscape architect’s need to
understand the type of therapy/program goals.
The elements included in the therapeutic garden can
assist in achieving these therapy and activity goals.
