For a patient, visitor, or member of staff, spending long hours in a hospital can be a stressful experience.
Nearby access to natural landscape or a garden can enhance people’s ability to deal with stress and thus potentially improve health outcomes.

History• “The idea of healing garden is both ancient and modern”(Cooper
Marcus & Barnes, 1999). • Historically, people have always used nature as a powerful healing
source and as a resource for recovery (Cooper Marcus and Barnes, 1999).
• Persian garden, the Japanese Zen garden and the Monastic Cloister gardens are some of examples of a healing environment which appeared throughout history in different parts of the world.
• The Greeks created healing temples for their gods. The temple for the god Aesclepius (god of healing) was built in pastoral settings with mineral springs, bathing pools, gymnasiums, and healing gardens. Here people would come to worship, lodge, recreate, and heal.

•In the 19th century, Dr. Benjamin Rush was first to document the positive effect working in the garden had on individuals with mental illness.•In US, horticultural therapy blossomed after World War II, with homecoming soldiers in need of restorative therapy.•Since the mid-1980s, research has indicated that gardens, parks and areas with natural greenery have beneficial effects on human health, well-being and capacity (Kaplan,R and Kaplan, S.1989).

INTRODUCTION
“Quality of life,” “well-being,” and “healing” are phrases that embody concepts being recognized with increasing importance in the 21st-century.
However, over the last 50 years with the rapid growth of medical technology and economic pressure, this ancient concept has been neglected.
Presently, Healthcare costs are climbing. Hence in hospitals and healthcare institutions often keep up extensive gardens and landscapes as an important part of healing.

Therapeutic Gardens can be found in a variety of settings, including but not limited to hospitals, skilled nursing homes, assisted living residences, continuing care retirement communities, out-patient cancer centers, hospice residences, and other related healthcare and residential environments.
The focus of the thereupetic gardens is primarily on incorporating plants and friendly wildlife into the space near to hospitals and healthcare centers for the better health outcomes of the peoples.

• The Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Hospitals Organization (JCAHO) has stated, “Patients and visitors should have opportunities to connect with nature through outside spaces, plants, indoor atriums, and views from windows” (1999).
• There is significant evidence indicating that environmental exposures, such as contact with plants and animals, viewing landscapes, and participating in wilderness experiences, may have positive impact on mental and physical health (Frumkin, 2001, 2004),

Design Principles in Therapeutic Landscapes
Before starting the design process it is important to know the user groups.
In designing a healing garden the focus should be on the people who are going to use the garden.
Depending on user groups there should be a balance between the physical activities and just being and experiencing the garden passively (Stigsdotter & Grahn 2002).
