Therapeutic Landscapes
Evergreen Infrastructure create landscapes that nurture wellbeing, promote healing, and engage the senses through thoughtfully integrated greenery
Therapeutic landscapes are living spaces that soothe stress, aid rehabilitation, and create safe, inclusive environments. We work closely with clients and healthcare professionals to design gardens that truly serve the people who use them.
Upton Road Accommodation Services
Evergreen Infrastructure were engaged to design a space that could also be used for residents to discuss matters with their support worker in a relaxed outdoor environment while their children played along with providing a comfortable space for their children and themselves to socialise with other families

Got Questions?
How do we get started?
It begins with a conversation. We’ll assess your site, listen to your goals, and propose a design approach that meets both your practical needs and the therapeutic outcomes you’re seeking.
Can you design a therapeutic landscape for a small space?
Absolutely. Even courtyards, balconies, and rooftop areas can be transformed into restorative green spaces with the right design approach. We work with you to make the most of your site — no matter the size.
Do therapeutic landscapes require a lot of maintenance?
Not necessarily. We design with long-term care in mind, selecting appropriate plant palettes, durable materials, and smart irrigation systems. We also offer ongoing maintenance and asset management services if required.
What elements are typically included?
Therapeutic landscapes often feature seating, shaded pathways, raised planters, sensory plants, accessible surfaces, and wayfinding elements. Every detail, from plant selection to layout, is intentional and based on how people will experience the space.
Who are therapeutic landscapes designed for?
These spaces benefit a wide range of people — from patients and aged care residents to students, visitors, carers, and staff. Designs are tailored to suit the needs of the people using the space, whether for quiet reflection, social interaction, or sensory engagement.
What is a therapeutic landscape?
Therapeutic landscapes are designed outdoor environments that promote physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. They use plants, sensory experiences, spatial design, and natural elements to reduce stress, encourage healing, foster social connection, and support overall health. These landscapes can be incorporated into hospitals, schools, workplaces, urban parks, and residential settings, providing restorative spaces that actively enhance human wellbeing
