Abstract/Contents: | "The term 'therapeutic gardens' encompasses a range of garden types, such as gardens for the blind, gardens for practicing horticulture therapy programs or 'closed gardens' for people with mental diseases. If the garden is therapeutic, it is important to answer the question, what this therapeutic benefit comprises. It is garden itself a therapy or is it only a tool? Although the general therapeutic effect of nature has been verified, the detailed methods for the garden planner still have to be developed. These ought to be patient-oriented, therapeutical, but also should not deny or neglect the garden culture. On the basis of conceptions of deficiencies and potentials, which are of central importance both for therapy and for garden design an metholodigical approach to 'therapeutic gardens' is described." |
