Gardens have been associated throughout history with restoration and healing. This class examines their role in health and wellness, and will cover current research on positive impacts. Students will learn the essentials for creating a successful therapeutic garden and how to apply them in residential, community and institutional settings.

Nina Shippen practices residential landscape and garden design through her company Gardeniña, which focuses on coupling the principles of healing gardens with sound ecologic practices to create satisfying gardens for her clients. A graduate of the landscape design program at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies, she has lived and gardened in Transylvania County since 2005. gardeninadesign.com
