Therapeutic Garden
A therapeutic garden is a specially designed outdoor space that promotes healing and well-being. These gardens often include a variety of plants, flowers, and natural elements that engage the senses and provide a calming environment. They are commonly used in settings like hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and nursing homes to support patients' physical and emotional health.
The design of a therapeutic garden typically incorporates accessible pathways, seating areas, and sensory features such as fragrant plants and textured surfaces. Research has shown that spending time in these gardens can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals, including those with mental health conditions or chronic illnesses.
