LIFE ENHANCING GARDENS
Cincinnati, OH
Beckwith Chapman Associates designed three gardens for LifeSphere/Maple Knoll
village to enhance the lives of residents and encourage intergenerational
activities. The memory garden for dementia care residents builds upon research
that demonstrates human beings have a ‘pre-cognitive’ response to nature and
the beneficial attributes that it can provide. The children’s garden for Maple
Knoll Montessori School is an important enrichment for learning and stimulating
the imagination of children. The enabling garden provides universal access and
hands-on horticultural therapy for residents of all ages and abilities.
