We’re on a mission to ensure every Australian has access to a therapeutic garden to support their physical and mental wellbeing regardless of their developmental, cognitive, psychological or physical challenges.

Our Vision

As the Chief Executive Officer of LNA Master Landscapers Association, Jo identified the need for a central information hub for individuals and organisations wanting to experience the benefits of therapeutic gardens, so she founded the 'Therapeutic Gardens Australia'. It is her mission to collaborate with and provide creative professionals sustainable space solutions with the goal of achieving and encouraging well-being and health. Her passion is to facilitate better health and well-being through the implementation of natural gardens and landscaping which was derived from her need in creating comfortable, purposeful and holistic living spaces for her autistic son. After years of research and witnessing the benefits of creating sustainable and therapeutic spaces, Jo continues to deliver tranquil and tailored living spaces.

Therapeutic Gardens Australia' is a resource that brings people together to help design, develop, build and implement much needed natural spaces within our community.

This organisation provides a holistic overview of current research and information regarding the design of landscapes to allow for the creation of outdoor spaces for tailored therapeutic outcomes and happier, healthier lives.

Therapeutic gardens are a wonderful way of providing regular stimulating yet relaxing interaction with nature. The evidence of the improved mental and physical health outcomes that can be achieved through interacting with nature is already well-documented. They aren’t just a great place for those with special medical needs though, they are a beautiful and healthy resource for everyone. Therapeutic gardens benefit family, friends, carers and the entire community.

Our consulting firm combines all the expertise, tools and professionals you need to bring your therapeutic garden vision to life. We are available to support the creation of therapeutic gardens at all stages, from consultation through to design and build for individuals and organisations of all shapes and sizes.

It is our vision to facilitate the building of these gardens throughout the community in hospitals, medical institutions, special needs childcare facilities, schools and aged-care residences, as well as public spaces and parks. We want to revolutionise Australia’s approach to health by seeing traditional therapies and treatments work hand in hand with regular access to nature through therapeutic gardens.

“Therapeutic Gardens Australia has been helping communities connect for over a decade.”
