Healing Garden
The healing garden will be a botanically diverse showcase of
plants used in medicine by various cultures in Asia. It is a
demonstration that this cornucopia of nature is an important
part of health care provision in many countries. Such plants
are an essential part of their cultures, histories and beliefs.
It is a reminder that plants are ‘chemical factories’.
The healing garden will be designed and planted as a friendly,
therapeutic and tranquil place.
The plants are organized around the theme of ailments and associated
with their treatment. Such an approach, aided by creative interpretative
techniques, will be educational, yet entertaining. The physical
configuration of these plant groupings takes the form of a human
figure, giving rise to interesting signage / wayfinding possibilities.
Targeted completion: 2010 |
