I like new name of the group. Word healing reminds me also of the
intrinsic values of nature, and therapeutic more of practice specific for humans. So it seems this name includes both, healing power of nature by itself and horticulture therapy gardens made by human hands. Bye -

Check out Land8Lounge member Jason King’s review of Esther Sternberg’s new book, Healing Spaces: The Science of Place and Well-Being. An excellent review of an excellent new book.

I’m glad to see someone else interested in SSI! I’m working on a children’s garden project for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. We’re designing the project to the preliminary draft SSI credits in hopes to create a sustainable landscape project, test the credits and criteria and eventually hopefully become a pilot project.

Does anybody know if there are any efforts being made to cover theraputic landscapes under health care insurance?

Here’s an article that some of you may find interesting, about what they are saying is the first “universally accessible” playground. I have a feeling it’s not the first, but it’s still perhaps a good example, anyway. Anyone down in FL want to visit and report back to us? http://tinyurl.com/mp4x6t.

Hey Brian!
I too amm looking for a Landscape Design position in NYC. I’m into urban design and planning but will also work residential and commerical. I’m basically open to the public and private realm, I would like to make something happen soon.
Any suggestions?

Thanks Naomi! My passion lies in gardens for children, elderly, and those in need of healing. I would like to maintain and grow my knowledge base in these areas. Unfortunately in my current position, I have no outlet to express my ideas. I have designed children’s gardens, gardens for assisted living facilities, etc, but all on my own. Without g…[Read more]

Does anyone here have experience with Leit solar controllers? Any issues with long wire runs, durability, etc?

See the latest comment on the TLDBlog “Garden fragrance as an emotional memory trigger” for some great information about this subject, from Wendy who wrote her thesis on the subject. You can also link to her thesis, which I’ll be posting soon on the Therapeutic Landscapes Database.

Hi Naomi,
I guess I can put some pictures of gardens shown on confference with short description of the places and work on my site. There were initiatives started as civil initiatives and community gardens for example in Sarajevo (BiH) and now they are planning certificate programme for this part of Europe, what would be great. I can send Daniel…[Read more] -

Chris, just saw your response to Katrina – thanks for the info! I’m behind with adding data to the TLD, but this is great information.

Hi Katrina, the best way to find out about horticulture therapy certificate programs, in the Bay Area or anywhere, is to contact the American Horticultural Therapy Association (http://www.ahta.org/). I know that Marni Barnes teaches a class on therapeutic landscape design at the UC Berkeley Extension, and there may be others as well. But for hort.…[Read more]

Hello Katrina,
I believe that the SF Botanical Garden offers a Certificate Program. You can follow this link to get in contact with the program (http://caahta.org/education.htm). I’m not familiar with this particular course, but having spent some time with Teresia Hazen’s class at Legacy Health in Portland, HT is a rewarding and enriching…[Read more] -

Welcome, Chris and Marina! Chris, can’t wait to see your photos – will you post them here? Would also be happy to share on the TLDBlog, or elsewhere and of course we’ll want to add any sites to the Database that aren’t already there.
And Marina, tell us more about the conference, it sounds fascinating. I wonder if we can get trascripts, or if…[Read more]
