Good morning all,
Another recent addition to the Knowledge Repository that might be of interest! This one by Schmid et al. is about green spaces in 2German psychiatric hospitals, perceived sensory dimensions, and the potential for therapeutic effect. The authors not only identify elements but help with meaning. Some findings from other studies are confirmed (e.g., spatial variety, well-kept spaces, and consideration of sounds). There are some photographs and diagrammed results. Figure 2, in particular, is a nice visual summary. It’s open access, so I’ve attached for your perusal!

Thank you for sharing Ellen. If there is an opportunity to do a research review to unpack this & discuss at our next meeting, please let us know.
