A Therapeutic Garden is an outdoor garden space that has been specifically designed to meet the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the people using the garden as well as their caregivers, family members and friends. Therapeutic Gardens can be found in a variety of settings, including but not limited to hospitals, skilled nursing homes, assisted living residences, continuing care retirement communities, out-patient cancer centers, hospice residences, and other related healthcare and residential environments. The focus of the gardens is primarily on incorporating plants and friendly wildlife into the space. The settings can be designed to include active uses such as raised planters for horticultural therapy activities or programmed for passive uses such as quiet private sitting areas next to a small pond with a trickling waterfall. ==Types of Therapeutic Gardens== * Alzheimer's Gardens: adult day care programs and dementia residences * Healing Gardens: acute care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and other healthcare facilities * Rehabilitation Gardens: rehabilitation hospitals * Restorative Gardens: psychiatric hospitals * Senior Community Gardens: assisted living, continuing care retirement communities and other senior living residences * Cancer Gardens: chemotherapy facilities * Enabling Gardens: vocational schools, arboretum * Meditation Gardens: religious institutions and other faith based settings 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Therapeutic garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
