‘Why don’t we go into the garden?’ – A Designer Handbook for Creating Actively Used Care Setting Gardens

Introducing ‘Relationship-Centred Design’ this book, with its range of tools and insightful stories, guides garden designers and in-house estate teams working with care organisations to ensure the long term success of their gardens. By coming alongside the current  organisational culture, and supporting person-centred care practices, greater engagement outside is possible. This book challenges the way design support is delivered to care organisations with the aim of ensuring  gardens continue to be used long after the designer has left.
