Tending to the Senses

An ecotherapy hospice garden embracing nature’s healing touch for the Central California Women’s Facility.

23370 Rd 22, Chowchilla, CA 93610 Completed in partnership with Kim Arechiga Project Background In partnership with the hospice medical director of the California State Prison in Vacaville, Michele DiTomas, our cultural environments design studio had the opportunity to design a hospice garden for the Central California Women’s Facility.

Proposals for this hospice garden are the first for a women’s prison in the state.

Current Culture The current culture in many prison systems is often characterized by issues such as overcrowding, violence, and a lack of rehabilitation opportunities. Landscape architecture can contribute to changing this culture by focusing on creating rehabilitative environments within prison facilities. Incorporating well-designed outdoor spaces, greenery, and recreational areas can foster a more positive atmosphere, providing the residents with opportunities for physical activity, relaxation, and skill development. Thoughtful landscape design can contribute to improved mental well-being, reduced stress, and increased chances for successful reintegration into society, thereby positively influencing the overall culture within the prison system.

Project mission was to create a space that would allow the residents of the Chowchilla Hospice Center to feel comfortable and relaxed in a place of their own. This garden was created for the residents of the Chowchilla Women’s facility to claim as their own backyard. Through the use of ecotherapy design and material choices, this garden used the five senses to give a sense of home. Scent, touch, sound, sight, and taste all can be experienced in this garden in order to create a healing space for the body and mind.

Graphics: Rhino, Lumion, Photoshop, Illustrator Project Size: 1/3 of an acre Perspective (Right) This is a view of the terraced garden beds for residents to plant with plants of their choice and to take care of. These raised beds have multiple heights which can accommodate the abilities of many hospice patients. Beyond the garden fence is a view of the school building, which has been painted with a mural showcasing the different landscapes of California.

Current Conditions The site currently is an empty, flat, fenced lot.

Other than the hospice building itself, the only noteworthy features are the adjacent buildings.

Closest to the hospice building is the pharmacy, with one of its walls becoming a wall to the garden.

Directly across the hospice building is a school building. To the east of the hospice building are dormitory buildings. Plants are allowed outside of the fence of the garden, however, there are height restrictions for plants near the dormitories.

Inside the garden, there are restrictions that all tall elements (trees and structures) must be eight feet away from fences or buildings.

Process & Ideation

Purpose We used the five senses to truly implement healing into the garden design. Visual depth is created through different textured plants, materials, and structures. Color brings life and love into this space. Sound is magnified through the use of soothing water features, plants that attract singing birds, and hanging plants. The residents are encouraged to be a part of the gardening experience to be more connected to their space and use the soil as a grounding exercise. The sand and lawn allow the residents to experience different textures at their feet that can transport them to their favorite places. Lastly, the garden is filled with lots of flowering plants, herbs, and vegetables which allow for the taste and smell experiences to be embraced. Herbal plants fill the garden with light, refreshing smells, along with the lavender fields. The residents are encouraged to use their garden to be able to grow and eat their favorite blends of herbs, vegetables, and fruits all year long.

Ecotherapy Design | Our Approach Ecotherapy, also known as nature therapy or green therapy, is a form of therapy that involves engaging with nature to improve mental and emotional well-being. It recognizes the connection between human health and the health of the environment, emphasizing the idea that spending time in nature can have positive effects on psychological and physical health.

In the context of this garden, ecotherapy is incorporated into the design of outdoor spaces to create environments that promote healing and well-being. This approach is based on the belief

Final Design Plan

that exposure to nature can have therapeutic benefits, such as reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as enhancing overall mood and cognitive function.

Key reasons why ecotherapy is used in the Garden Design: 1. Stress Reduction: Natural environments have been shown to have a calming effect on the human mind. By incorporating elements such as greenery, water features, and natural materials into the garden design, we aim to create a space that reduces stress and promotes relaxation.

2. Physical Health Benefits: Spending time in nature encourages physical activity, such as walking, yoga, or simply being outdoors.

3. Mental Health Benefits: Nature has a positive impact on mental health, contributing to reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Exposure to natural elements is believed to enhance mood and increase feelings of well-being.

4. Restoration and Connection: Nature can provide a sense of restoration and a break from the residents’ day-to-day environments. By designing a garden that allows people to connect with nature, the garden fosters a sense of peace, tranquility, and restoration.

5. Biophilic Design Principles: Biophilic design is an approach that incorporates natural elements and patterns into the built environment to create environments that support human well-being. This can include features like natural lighting, mural walls, and views of nature, all of which align with the principles of ecotherapy.

Memorial Mural & Lemon Tree Plan This plan focuses on the breast cancer memorial mural and lemon tree area of the garden. There are wide pathways around the lemon tree with seating surrounding it for residents and visitors to be able to view it as well as sit with others. Behind the curved seating are colorful plantings that peek out from behind the seat backs. Near the wall with the mural is a raised planter with a trellis and seating. The planter is filled with pleasantly fragrant star jasmine.

Perspective This perspective shows a view of entering the area. There is a gap in the curved seating to allow space for a wheelchair user to sit next to others, as shown in the perspective. Plants surrounding the curved seating are strategically selected and placed to be visible above the seat backs. On the wall of the pharmacy is the breast cancer memorial mural, which will be designed by residents. The raised planter by the mural offers seating to view the memorial and the trellis offers shade. There are fragrant star jasmine plants in the planter which are close enough to smell while seated.

Pond Plan This area focuses on the pond, water feature, sand area, and seating under trellises. The pond is organically shaped to mimic a natural setting.

The curving pathway around the pond is lined with plantings creating a lush space. The planting area directly next to the pond is an area designed to handle excess stormwater during a heavy rain event.

Perspective (Left) This perspective shows how the sand area adjoins the pond to create a beach-like setting.

The sand is a unique sensory experience for people in the garden. The seating under the trellises allows people to put their feet in the sand and watch the pond. The rock water feature is placed close to the pathway so people can reach it and touch the water. There is additional seating around the pathway that lets people sit, watch, and hear the pond and water feature.

Perspective (Right) This perspective shows a view out of one of the windows of the hospice facility. The pond and nearby plantings can easily be seen. The water feature provides ambient noise that can be heard when inside.

Continent Gardens Plan This plan shows the continent gardens that feature plants native to Asia, Africa, South America, and North America. Each planting area is designated to a continent. In the pathways between the planting areas, there are benches for residents and visitors to sit on and admire the plants. Surrounding the outside of the gardens are railings to rest on. The North American cactus garden has a railing around all sides to ensure there is no safety risk.

Perspective This perspective looks into one of the ways to enter the continent garden space. There is a large diversity of plant species that provide interesting colors, textures, and forms to look at, touch, and smell. The planting areas designated for different continents provide cultural connections for residents and visitors to connect to their identity and heritage. The array of plants also provides a learning opportunity to discover where certain plant species originated from.

This perspective shows the view visitors see when they first enter the garden. The bulletin board in the center currently shows the seasonal flowers of the garden, which can be switched by residents to display anything of their choosing.

This shows a view of the continent gardens and plaza shade structure. The gardens can easily be viewed from all angles by the wide pathways that surround them.

A. This section elevation cuts through the entire length of the garden from fence to fence, showing the features seen when looking towards the school building.

B. This section elevation cuts through the pond and raised planter beds to show the elevation changes through the garden from the hospice building to the fence.

Colors of the Garden This image showcases the variety of flower colors and shapes present in the garden. Plants were selected to have a wide range of flower and fruit seasons, so there is visual interest all year long. Additionally, there is a wide variety of foliage colors including reds, purples, silvers, blues, and greens.

Into the Sky Astronomy Backyard Garden

This shotgun house backyard is a dream for any stargazer. Featuring an open lawn for clear views of the night sky, a sunken fire pit with a celestial mosaic, and a light wave water feature with a hammock bed, this yard has a space for everyone. From the amateur to the professional astronomer, this backyard provides the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the stars.

Project assignment was to design an empty shotgun house backyard based on a hobbyist, with this garden based on a client interested in astronomy.

Graphics: Rhino, Lumion, Photoshop, Procreate, Illustrator Yard Dimensions: 30’ x 40’-6” Perspective (Right) This shows a view of the entire backyard garden from the northwest corner. The open space lawn is ideal to set up a telescope to observe planets or lay down a blanket and gaze at the stars. The concrete wall and bamboo shield out direct light from the firepit to avoid disturbing stargazers on the lawn. The lightwave-shaped water feature creates a privacy screen between the hammock bed and the rest of the garden.

Process & Ideation The design process started with creating a program of desired elements for the backyard.

The elements needed to relate to astronomy in their form and/or function. After brainstorming and refining ideas, the program consisted of four main elements. The elements were a screened fire pit with a celestial mosaic for social gatherings, an open lawn for stargazing, a water feature and hammock with lightwave-shaped structures, and finally a crescent moon-shaped bar for entertaining. A challenge that quickly

arose was the limited size of the backyard.

While there were many desirable elements to include, there was no space for more than three appropriately sized elements. The number of proposed elements had to be reduced to fit the space. The crescent moon-shaped bar ended up being removed as it was the element with the least connection and purpose to the hobby of astronomy. With the change in the number of elements, the remaining elements needed to be rearranged for optimal use of space and layout.

Skating the Dunes Guadalupe Central Park Guadalupe, CA 93434

Guadalupe is a small city, dominated by the agriculture industry, with a tight-knit community, located in Santa Barbara County. The Central Park is one of the few parks that the community has. The current conditions of Central Park are outdated and unkempt. Taken over by weeds, the park contains the city’s famous water tower and old utilities. The park is fairly empty with mostly open grass space and a central concrete walkway. The historic jail on the site must be kept per the city government. Through community outreach, a list of desired program elements has been created as the basis for the renovation of the park.

Project Goals: Create space accessible to people of all abilities and age groups.

Update the park to meet the needs and wants of the community.

Create an aesthetic that reflects the culture of the community.

Graphics: Rhino, Lumion, Photoshop, Illustrator Project Size: approximately 1.4 acres Perspective (Right) This shows a view of the skate park, the central element of the park, filled with curves and edges for skaters to have fun using. Having a skate park was a high priority for residents and thus it became a focal point of the design. In the background, from left to right, are a planted detention basin, the historic jail building, an entry plaza, and a dog park.

The top and middle photos to the right show the historic jail building and a view of the entire park taken from the pedestrian bridge. The bottom photo to the right is taken from the middle of the northwest side of the lawn looking towards the water tower. The park is mostly a flat lawn with trees sprinkled in. A desired path can be seen through the grass, as many users do not take the central, curved concrete path. There is a parking lot located near the jail building. On the opposite side of the park, there is a bus stop. The most WIND SPEED prominent feature is the water tower that looms over the site.

Section Elevation of Skate Park Filled with many curves and edges, this skate park offers a large area for skaters to cruise and trick out. To the west of the skate park are planting areas and benches for park visitors to observe skaters.

Section Elevation of Mounded Lawn and Stage The mounded lawn mimics the rolling Nipomo Guadalupe dunes and acts as a fun place for kids to run around as well as a space to view the stage.

The stage can be used by the community to host a variety of events at the park. Southwest of the stage is a restroom.

The entry plaza into the park comes off of the existing parking lot. In the center is a tiled mosaic surrounded by built-in benches that have mounding planters on their backside. On the far right of the image is the half-basketball court. To its left is a detention basin sitting at the site’s low point to collect and filter stormwater that travels through the site.

Reminiscent of the sand dunes of Guadalupe, this playground features mounds for kids to play on, as well as a traditional playground seen further away in the perspective. The playground area is located parallel to the train tracks so kids can view passing trains. The play area also has views of the large skatepark for kids and their parents to watch skaters. In the far right of the image, there are game tables for visitors to use.

Planting Areas Area A - Entry Plaza

These plants are low-growing ornamentals designed to welcome visitors to the park with splashes of color and contrasting textures.

Area B - Detention Basin

These plants are sitting in a low point and are therefore tolerable of high moisture and standing water.

Area C - Skatepark

These large planting beds are suitable for layering trees, shrubs, and perennials to create a beautiful planting area.

Area D - Exercise Area

Large shrubs are planted on mounds to create separation of the exercise area from the main pathway. The climbing plants add color to the fence.

Internship with Callander Associates

Boulder, t

Pollinator Garden

Decomposed Granite Band

During my internship, I had the opportunity to work on concept proposals for Corn Palace Park, a neighborhood park, located in Sunnyvale, CA. I drafted linework for three concept plans in AutoCAD and color-rendered them in Photoshop (only two concepts are shown to avoid redundancy). The linework from AutoCAD was edited in Illustrator prior to color-rendering to have a more loose, sketch-like appearance, rather than perfect straight lines. Labeling on the plans and inspirational images were added in InDesign.

The perspective graphics were completed in Lumion, where I assisted in adding materials and plants. I received feedback throughout working on this project and made adjustments to graphics as requested. These concept plans and perspectives were used during a community outreach meeting to receive feedback on residents’ preferred designs.

Concept A (right) is the most active park design, featuring a tennis court and half-basketball court in addition to a playground and lawn.

Concept C (next page) is the most passive park design, with a playground, picnic area, pollinator garden, and central, curved walking path.

This perspective is from Concept A, showing a view of the half-basketball court and surrounding concrete seat walls. Behind the fence is the tennis court. In the background of the image is the restroom building and play structure.

This perspective is from Concept C, showing the southwest entrance to the park. Towards the left is the picnic area. Towards the right is the playground area, which is enclosed by a fence.

The neighborhood houses were added to the background to help residents visualize the park in their neighborhood.

Sample Construction Details In addition to working on concept renderings, I assisted in the creation of construction documents. I had the opportunity to work on all sheets included in a construction document set, across numerous projects. Frequently, I edited standard company construction details to align with a specific project. There were also many occasions where I drafted construction details from scratch for the unique conditions of a project. The “drinking fountain access” and “ornamental metal fence” details seen on the right were part of a park rehab project where the client city was looking to make small refinements to parks with damaged or outdated amenities.

The “goal netting, type 1” and “stair guardrail with handrail” details seen right were part of a redesigned recreational sports field project for a middle school.
