As part of the impetus of the Camphill movement, Depu provides advise and designs outdoor spaces that can accompany the healing process of people in need of special care. The objective of those spaces are to support the process to recognise, educate and nurture the essential self that sits in every human being.
The design of such gardens is done in collaboration with caregivers as well as with the users of the gardens. This participatory component is particularly important as it triggers ownership by the user and is therfore likely to produce more beneficial impact.
Therapeutic Gardens can include diverse elements such as perennial trees, shrubs, herbal sections, water installations and systems for rain harvesting. They must be conceived into a space which is safe, calming and accessible all year round.
