garden - the future

A garden at the heart of the healing process

“The grounds of many existing hospitals could be greatly improved to the benefit of patients families and staff by adopting a more green and leafy approach within and around the building.”

Urban Forestry in Practice, ‘Hospital greenspace as an aid to healthcare’,

National Urban Forestry Unit

The project not only provides a practical demonstration of how contact with nature can help people to recover more quickly and regain their health, but also has been seen as a model and inspiration for future hospitals and health care centres.

The new garden at the Glasgow Homoeopathic Hospital is in constant flux and growth. It is now important to protect this essential therapeutic facility through sustainable maintenance and development.

“I can feel the healing environment the moment I walk in the door. I love the curves the colours the windows and the garden especially.
I hope that my work acts as 'reminders' of the intense pleasure of nature and the healing that can evolve from that.”
