Designed by Phoenix-based landscape architects Ten Eyck, and San Francisco-based design firm Gensler, the 4,786 square feet healing garden features shaded outdoor gathering spaces and paths interwoven with lush hummingbird and butterfly gardens coupled with water features.
The multi-sensory garden is visible from many of the hospital’s patient rooms in the open air courtyard. A seamless entrance and open views to the healing garden have been made possible by remodeling the hospital lobby.
The healing garden complements the original art displayed throughout the medical facility and the homely design of the private patient rooms. The garden is expected to act as a soothing, calming place both for patients and visitors, says Jean Knoedler, hospital vice president and administrator.
Scottsdale Healthcare is a not-for-profit parent organization.
