- Hospitals
can be very stressful places for patients, visitors and stuff and going to a
nearby landscape or garden can help to deal with these stressful experiences
and could improve health.
- Different
types of gardens are required for different areas of healing. Each sector needs
different features. If you have one garden for all types of medical conditions
you might be losing the point of it all.
- Abstract
art should not be used since it could be considered threatening to traumatic patients.
