Care

Green spaces in the immediate vicinity of healthcare facilities, hospitals, and nursing homes have a positive effect on the ability to recover, the mood, and the overall well-being of patients, staff, and visitors.
Research shows that patients' hospital stays and their need for pain medication decrease when their immediate surroundings are landscaped with greenery.

Landscaping outdoor spaces with trees, shrubs, and possibly perennials can improve the quality of life in and around healthcare facilities. Examples include nursing homes, hospitals, gardens surrounding assisted-living facilities, and mental health care complexes.

We offer a wide selection of trees, shrubs, and perennials. We can advise you on designing your outdoor green space to create an attractive look year-round. This might include soothing plantings that are predominantly green with subtle pops of color that highlight the changing seasons.

Trees that fit into this landscape include, for example, Ginkgo biloba, the Japanese ginkgo. This ancient tree has a uniquely soothing presence and turns yellow in the fall. Magnolia kobus (beaver tree) adds charm to early spring. Ornamental cherries add color to spring and fall, such as Prunus cerasifera or Prunus ‘The Bride’.

Also consider species that blend in with the surrounding landscape, such as the native Alnus glutinosa (black alder), Quercus robur (English oak), Fagus sylvatica (beech), Fraxinus excelsior (ash), Tilia europaea (European linden), Betula pendula (silver birch), and Acer campestre (field maple).

Depending on the situation, several types may be suitable. Please contact us for advice by calling 0411-621964.
