| Annotation | In the first of two articles, a landscape architect specialising in care environments for people with dementia discusses the benefits to them of everyday contact with gardens and the natural world. He gives guidance on how care homes can make engaging with nature a normal, regular aspect of daily life that is also therapeutic. His design criteria are based on research evidence and practice-based knowledge. (RH). |
