Gardens
Establish enduring impact
Whether we are planning a jewel-box rooftop garden or a sprawling campus park, our landscape architecture and garden design practice includes clients and users as partners in the research and planning process. Our designers search for insight into what makes a site special to the client, how it will be used and how it can be planned to protect and enhance the benefits we derive from healthy, functioning landscapes.

Healing
A rooftop garden lifts the healing benefits of nature to the upper levels of the hospital. Combinations of ponds, rain gardens, rolling hills covered with trees, ornamental grasses, and flowering perennials promote mental restoration.

Therapeutic
In 2013, HGA acted on an opportunity to give back to a long-time client, ThedaCare Health, by providing pro bono design services for a healing garden space at ThedaCare Medical Center in Neenah, Wisconsin. The goal of the therapeutic garden was to improve rehabilitation care for long-term patients with a variety of brain and mobility injuries. While the design and implementation of a healing garden was a scope the design team was very familiar with, this project has proven to be particularly rewarding and insightful due to resulting improvements in patient care, the participant-informed design process, research opportunities, and, ultimately, important lessons learned.

Green Roofs
Well-designed green roofs provide multiple environmental, social, economic and aesthetic benefits. Sustainable materials include low-maintenance plantings, pervious paving, high-efficiency irrigation, and a sloping green roof and terrace that reduce energy costs and rainwater run-off.
