Welcome new members! If any of you are students and are in need of a simple project, the TLN is looking for someone to document how many of the 155 teaching hospitals in the U.S. have therapeutic landscapes or some other type of restorative outdoor space. Anyone interested? Could become a great thesis…

Great, Devin! Be sure to share your findings with us, and I will post anything new to the Therapeutic Landscapes Database.

Stumbled on to your database blog while researching healing gardens. Currently designing two for an outpatient clinic in Miami. Thanks so much for all the info you’ve posted.

Strut your stuff! Two opportunities with ASLA: http://tldb.blogspot.com/. Will announce the call for student awards when it comes around, too.

Scholarship opportunity for landscape architecture grad students wanting to conduct research. See more on the Therapeutic Landscapes Database Blog: http://tldb.blogspot.com/ and spread the word – deadline is soon!

You’re welcome, Rico! Let me know how it goes – always looking for more examples of therapeutic landscapes to add to the database (http://www.healinglandscapes.org/sites.html).

It will Naomi, thanks. I’m sure will help. Hoping I could do one in the future for my son who has DS, and maybe for the school he is in right now.

God bless you!

Thanks.

Dear Naomi, nice to see you here. Thank you for sharing ^_^

interesting topic and love your take/enthusiasm regarding japanese design. I can’t really comment on the lack of japanese LA’s but I feel japanese landscape design lives through many designers. I live in miami, florida. and the manufactured naturalistic approach as seen through japanese designs compliments our native landscape well and I see…[Read more]

Oh yeah. My blurred vision is starting to clear up! Thanks very much. Keep ’em coming.

Thanks Loe, very flattered.
I think it’s something to do with our approach to empty space. We have experienced shortage of flat land from the beginning. So, finding flat and open land was the first step. Some could find a plot in a ‘urban’ site (in medieval term) which is small and cluttered by neighbours, the others found a small plot on mountain…[Read more]

Hi Yuko. I am always enthralled by good japanese design and always wonder why such simplicity in design is so difficult to master. I hope to find some answers in this group.

Nice to meet y’all.

Thanks!
I think we can have fun at least! That’s guaranteed.

Hi
I join, lets see what we could doing there.
I am in Tokyo, but stupidly enough busy to enjoy more shoppping mall after work than garden and scape.
Hope things gonna change….

Sad to see like-a-minds leave the profession and seek totally different jobs these days. Actually I pick small works from Europe/Middle East, and I have not heard much hopeful news in the country for a while. On the other hand, I have come across enthusiastic Japanese garden fan in Europe. So I created the group to share the true stories and info…[Read more]
