Recenzii
This book is steeped in the deep experience and caring practice of its authors. Through its inspiring case studies, it brings to life core principles and details of execution in the creation of therapeutic gardens, and it shows how to design not just for but also with the people gardens serve. Its examples support mental and physical health, as well as the health of communities, grounded in compelling research that we all need time in nature for our health and well-being. This book has universal value.
Louise Chawla, co-author with Victoria Derr and Mara Mintzer, Placemaking with Children and Youth: Participatory Practices for Planning Sustainable Communities
"This book is an essential guide for those who aspire to do the sacred work of healing. The landscape architect and the occupational therapist form a powerful collaboration to bring together unprecedented guidance to create healing places, not just in hospital settings, but in the ordinary magic of day-to-day life through the places we live, work, rest and play. A must read and timely reminder of the role of the designer in creating places that truly nourish our deepest needs to connect with nature and with one another, necessary to help navigate, survive, heal and thrive."
Barbara Deutsch, FASLA, CEO, Landscape Architecture Foundation
"This beautiful book describes gardens as healing places—where stories are created and shared, where people learn what they are capable of doing, where they nurture life and overcome physical and emotional trauma. The book is full of ideas for designing spaces that promote balance and meaning in everyday life. For all those reasons, and because I gratefully receive those benefits in our garden, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
Anita Bundy, Sc.D., OT/L, FAOTA, FOTARA, Professor and Department Head, Colorado State University
"This book is a beautiful balance of design and approachable science that will be helpful for anyone interested in the intersection of garden design and healing. Through their work, the authors leave readers feeling inspired, hopeful, and eager to expand opportunities for healing through natural spaces."
Kelli Bush, Co-Director, Sustainability in Prisons Project & Evergreen Liberation Education Network, The Evergreen State College
"With many populations, particularly children, becoming increasingly disconnected from nature, and the increasing threat to our natural spaces and resources from climate change, this book is an incredibly timely and inspiring reminder of the therapeutic value of nature. Whether as designers, healthcare providers, or community members we need to be more deliberate around providing and leveraging gardens and other natural spaces that have the power to heal and support our well-being. The stories, examples and practices in Therapeutic Gardens: Design for Healing Spaces will serve as key resources for guiding the creation of these vital places."
Janet Loebach, Assistant Professor, Human Centered Design, Cornell University
"Insightful, thorough, and uplifting, this updated edition sets a new standard for collaborative design in therapeutic landscapes. With innovative case studies, it highlights a holistic approach that leads to inclusive, healing spaces that nurture health and well-being for everyone.
Debra Martins, MEd, OTR/L, SCEM, ATP, CAPS, FAOTA, WELL, Founder/Owner EmpowerAbility®, LLC
"Therapeutic Gardens: Design for Healing Spaces is an exquisitely illustrated book with clear overviews as well as in-depth information on a wide range of healing gardens, from modest to luxurious. Integrating architectural with landscape considerations, this valuable resource includes practical issues such as accessibility, lighting, and maintenance, while providing inspiration on how to create healing spaces where humans can interact with nature to find solace, awareness, and joy."
Susan Rodiek, author of Access to Nature for Older Adults
"In an era where anxiety, burnout, and disconnection plague both kids and adults,Therapeutic Gardens: Design for Healing Spacesoffers a powerful antidote—nature. This stunning, idea-packed guide blends vivid imagery with real-world strategies, showing how thoughtfully designed gardens can transform lives. For landscape architects, therapists, or anyone who believes in the quiet power of plants, it’s a blueprint for healing and growth—literally."
Angela Hanscom, author of Balanced and Barefoot
"In this wonderful book, Winterbottom and Wagenfeld take us on a garden journey through history, theory, empirical evidence, and practical experience. Their focus on the many varieties of human suffering – from illness to bereavement, from poverty to disability – reflects both their deep compassion, and the sweeping therapeutic potential of gardens. It’s clear that gardens are a public health strategy, one that promotes health, equity, and well-being. There is no better guide to therapeutic gardens than this book."
Howard Frumkin, M.D., Dr.P.H., Former Dean, University of Washington School of Public Health and Former Director, National Center for Environmental Health, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
"This volume comes at a critical time when communities are seeking ways to enable health and well-being through the design. From meeting the needs of people with autism and post-traumatic stress disorder, to reconciling with the experiences of the unhoused and those in the carceral state, the collaborative design of landscapes is presented as a means to address a litany of complex challenges. Featuring a rich diversity of grounded case studies from around the world, this book provides a strong foundation for those seeking processes and outcomes that can help us all thrive in our environments."
Kofi Boone, FASLA, Professor of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, NC State University
"Spaces you will see in this book are the missing link to what is needed to help other humans find that peaceful place within themselves that rejuvenates and heals."
Deborah Jo Wofford, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Washington Department of Corrections
