Hello Everyone! I’m going to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens for a conference on Horticultural Therapy in April and it will be the first hort. therapy conference that I’ve ever been to. I was wondering if anyone in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee…knows of any other seminars or meetings that are going on in our area and what other organizations or…[Read more]

Susan told me you started this group! Sounds like a great idea! I am interested to see what ideas come out of it.

Excellent idea, Jennifer!

I graduated in May 2008 with my BLA and emphasis in Natural Resource Management. I am considering getting my master’s in Natural Resource Management.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how an MNRM degree would help or not really effect my job hunt?
Thanks!

Hi Naomi, I am currently doing my masters in Landscape Architecture in South Africa, I am still decising on a theme for my thesis but I am very interested in environmental psychology and the relationship between mental health and nature/the outdoor environment. I want to work at a psiachiatric hospital. It looks like you are familiar with the…[Read more]

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.

I am currently working on my senior cap stone B.S. – LA project , which is a brownfield site ( old glass manufacture). I was curious to see if any one had any unique mitigation techniques or could refer me to a few good case studies.

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!

Hello Naomi.

I haven’t really delved deeply in the resources provided by you…but a quick question: any resources on spaces and Down’s Syndrome people?

Thanks.

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

thank you
