Senior Care Centre in Vitrolles 

The therapeutic garden for the elderly care center in Vitrolles, France is designed as a hortus conclusus – a tranquil, enclosed sanctuary that offers a sense of safety and serenity.

The garden is designed to support the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of elderly residents

Lush greenery, fragrant flowers, and shaded seating areas create a calming environment that encourages relaxation and social interaction. Raised garden beds allow for easy access to sensory planting, promoting engagement through touch, scent, and sight. Gentle pathways guide visitors through the space, fostering movement and mindfulness. This carefully designed garden serves as both a refuge and a healing space, enhancing well-being and quality of life for its residents.
