Presents mature healing garden design theory and research and
typical cases. The idea of a 'healing garden' is well established
in many developed countries as a specific form of landscape design
method; it meets the physical, psychological, social and spiritual
needs of the people using the garden, as well as their caregivers,
family members and friends. Shown through detailed theory and
illustrations, the first part of this book focuses on the concept,
types, and design considerations. The second part of the book
provides insightful design descriptions, detailed plan drawings and
photos showing the final, built projects on a wide range of types
of healing gardens. This book is a unique and informative text and
a useful reference for all landscape architects and designers.
