Hospital That Turned Landscaping into Healing Spaces

A Hospital’s Transformation: From Concrete to Comfort

Hospitals are places of care and recovery, yet many lack the calming outdoor spaces needed to promote healing. For years, Greenway Medical Center had an uninspiring exterior—concrete pathways, a few neglected trees, and sterile surroundings. It didn’t reflect the care and compassion inside the building.

That changed when hospital administrators brought in Steiner Lawn Care to create a healing garden that would provide comfort to patients, visitors, and staff.

The Vision: A Healing Sanctuary

Steiner Lawn Care worked closely with hospital executives to design an outdoor space that would:

  • Promote relaxation with natural elements.
  • Encourage patient recovery through exposure to nature.
  • Provide peaceful areas for families and staff.

Strategic Landscaping Choices for Healing

Steiner Lawn Care implemented a thoughtful design using:

  1. Lush Greenery & Flower Gardens
    Vibrant flowers and lush plants were selected to create an inviting atmosphere. Seasonal blooms provided a refreshing look year-round, helping to uplift spirits.
  2. Aromatherapy Elements
    Fragrant plants like lavender, rosemary, and jasmine were included to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
  3. Walking Paths & Accessible Seating
    Shaded walking paths encouraged gentle movement for recovering patients, while comfortable seating areas allowed visitors to find peace.
  4. Water Features for Serenity
    A small fountain and koi pond were added to introduce soothing sounds, making the garden an oasis of tranquility.

The Impact: A Garden That Heals

The transformation was immediate and impactful:

  • Patients enjoyed fresh air and nature, improving their mood and well-being.
  • Families found comfort in peaceful surroundings during difficult times.
  • Doctors and nurses used the space for relaxation, reducing burnout.
  • Hospital administrators saw increased positive feedback from patients.

Why Healing Gardens Matter

Studies show that exposure to green spaces:

  • Lowers stress and anxiety levels.
  • Speeds up patient recovery and reduces hospital stays.
  • Improves overall mental well-being for visitors and staff.
