“A lot of thought and hard work went into making this look so natural and uncontrived.”

When Memorial Health decided that patients and staff needed a place to decompress and rejuvenate, a garden was the logical answer. Although our plans originally called for the garden to be located in the rear of the facility, we redesigned them to place the garden next to a magnificent live oak.

As is often the case, size was a potential complication (the garden would be enclosed on all four sides and offer limited space). Our design solved this problem, making the space feel open and welcoming, while still offering separate areas for privacy and reflection.
