"The landscape architect has created a universally beautiful garden with lovely detailing. A restorative treasure."

“景观设计师创造了一个美丽的花园，有着美丽的细节。一个恢复性的财富。”
•2006个专业奖评审委员会的意见
Introduction
When designers turn their attention to "special needs" populations there is a temptation to focus on particular, often restrictive aspects of the project rather than explore the expanse of rich experiences and possibilities. Health and ill health are a continuum. Some of us have severe restrictions (like a wheelchair bound person with cerebral palsy), others minor restrictions (like a baby stroller), temporary problems (like a broken foot) or progressive decline (as with Alzheimer's disease or aging). When we design accessible spaces we are designing not just for the disabled, we are designing for everyone, including ourselves. It is in this context of creating a garden that accommodates the full range of the human condition where we find the Elizabeth and Nona Evans Restorative Garden in the Cleveland Botanical Garden.
景区简介
当设计师将他们的注意力转向“特殊需要”的人群时，有一种诱惑，专注于特定的，往往是限制性方面的项目，而不是探索广阔的丰富经验和可能性。健康和健康是一个连续的。有些人有严重的限制（比如一个坐轮椅的人脑瘫），其他次要的限制（如婴儿），临时性的问题（如断脚）或进行性下降（如阿尔茨海默氏症或老化）。当我们设计可访问的空间，我们设计的不只是为残疾人，我们是为每个人，包括我们自己的设计。正是在这样的背景下建立一个花园，有人的情况下，我们发现伊丽莎白和诺娜伊万斯恢复花园在克利夫兰植物园的全方位。
The space designated for the new garden was small (approximately 12,000 SF), sloped, with a mature plant collection. The space was adjacent to a busy dining terrace and provided the primary view from the Botanical Garden's gracious library. The program requirements were complex and construction was tied to an adjacent major building renovation and expansion project.
指定新的花园空间很小（约12000平方英尺），倾斜，与一个成熟的植物收集。空间毗邻一个繁忙的餐饮平台，并提供从植物园的亲切图书馆的主要观点。该项目的要求是复杂的，施工是与相邻的一个主要的建筑改造和扩建工程。
Project Parameters
The project mandate was clearly articulated in a two-day charrette. The Cleveland Botanical Garden board of directors, staff and donors wanted a garden that was "beautiful, natural, lush, green; a setting that offers a range of opportunities, choices and experiences; a setting engaging and enriching for all who visited." This mandate reflected the memory of Elizabeth Evans, a longtime friend and board member of the Garden and early supporter of garden therapy who believed passionately that an "abundance of foliage, fragrances, blooms and trees are invaluable elements of a healing garden environment". It is Betty's spirit, her home and garden that set the tone for the project. Comfort, accessibility and beauty were to be equally important elements.
工程参数
该项目的任务是明确一个为期两天的工作坊式。克利夫兰植物园董事会，工作人员和捐助者希望一个花园，“美丽，自然，繁茂，绿色；一个设置，提供了一系列的机会，选择和经验，一个设置从事和丰富的所有访问。”这项任务反映了记忆的伊万斯伊丽莎白，一个长期的朋友和董事会成员的花园治疗谁相信“丰富的树叶，芳香，花朵和树木是一个愈合的花园环境的宝贵元素”。这是贝蒂的精神，她的家庭和花园，为项目定下基调。舒适、可及性和美是同样重要的元素。
Because the garden was to be located within a public botanical garden where visitors are free to stroll, the need for privacy was an important consideration. Communication and a close collaborative working relationship were paramount to achieving a sensitive, responsive design. Discussions ranged from the general, such as the idea of beauty in the garden and issues of privacy and security (both real and perceived), to the specific, including the physical and psychological needs of various visitor groups, the horticultural therapy program requirements, the maintenance and protection of existing plant material, plant acquisitions and site conditions. Path materials were considered for their durability, aesthetic quality, glare, and accessibility, balancing the need for slip resistance with degree of texture to minimize fatigue. Plants were assessed with regard to their use in horticultural therapy programs, durability in a public space, place in the Botanical Garden's collection and so on. The garden's design would emphasize the importance of immersion within a beautiful garden setting while discreetly creating a comfortable environment with a range of uses.
因为花园是在一个公共植物园中，游客可以自由漫步，需要隐私是一个重要的考虑因素。通信和一个密切的协同工作关系是最重要的，实现一个敏感的，响应的设计。讨论范围从一般，如在花园中的美丽的想法和问题的隐私和安全（包括真实和感知），具体的，包括各种游客群体的生理和心理需求，园艺治疗方案的要求，现有的植物材料，工厂收购和现场条件的维护和保护。路径的材料被认为是其耐久性，审美质量，眩光，和无障碍，平衡的需要防滑性与程度的纹理，以尽量减少疲劳。植物进行了评估，他们的使用在园艺治疗方案，在公共空间中的耐久性，在植物园的收藏场所等。花园的设计将强调浸泡的重要性在美丽的花园设置而谨慎地创建一系列采用舒适的环境。
The resulting garden is a series of three unique settings, each with a distinct character and level of activity: one for quiet contemplation; one for both individual exploration and teaching large groups; and one for horticultural therapy.
由此产生的花园是一系列的三个独特的设置，每一个具有鲜明的性质和水平的活动：一个安静的沉思；一个用于个人探索和教学大群体；和一个用于园艺治疗。
The Contemplative Garden
The contemplative garden is a simple, elegant space adjacent to the Botanical Garden's library. A mature white blossoming Yulan Magnolia (Magnolia denudata) stands at the head of a reflecting pool. Behind it a fountain flows from the top of a low wall into a basin. The space features a lawn panel and is contained by a stone walk that connects the entry to seating areas, the water features and an overlook. Color in this calm setting is muted - primarily shades of green. Flowers and fragrances are minimized, as is the hardscape. Materials reflect the context of the Botanical Garden and the elegance and fine detailing of the library. Mature plant material, stone and water speak to the institution's permanence and commitment to the community, especially its most vulnerable populations. This verdant, quiet garden serves as the entry point for all three components of the Evans Restorative Garden. Its location adjacent to the dining terrace required clear separation. A vine-covered stone wall extends from the library to screen the terrace and frame the entry. Windows in the wall reveal the reflecting pool, Magnolia, and lawn, hinting at what is beyond.
沉思的花园
沉思的花园是一个简单的，优雅的空间植物园旁的图书馆。一个成熟的白色盛开的玉兰（白玉兰）站在一个水池的头。在它的背后，有一个喷泉从一个低的墙顶流成一个盆地。空间特点是一个草坪面板，并包含一个石头走，连接进入座位区，水的功能和忽视。在这种平静的环境中，颜色是柔和的，主要是绿色的。鲜花和香料的最小化，是硬体。材料反映了植物园的背景和优雅和精致的细节的图书馆。成熟的植物材料，石头和水对机构的持久性和对社会的承诺，特别是它最脆弱的人群。这苍翠幽静的花园，是所有三个组件的伊万斯康复花园的入口点。它的位置相邻的餐厅需要明确的分离。一棵藤覆盖的石头墙从图书馆延伸到屏幕上，然后进入了阳台，然后进入了一个入口。墙上的窗口显示，反映池，玉兰，草坪，暗示什么是超越。
The Demonstration/Exploration Garden
Behind the low retaining wall of the Contemplative Garden is another garden with an unusual sense of privacy. This space is defined by a high stonewall designed in close collaboration with the Botanical Garden's Horticultural Therapist and Director. The wall itself is a participatory feature offering a variety of opportunities for touching, smelling and hearing. Carefully selected native stones, interesting plants and water features - a waterfall, pool and water trickling over moss covered stone - engage users whether they sit or stand. Plants cascade over the wall and grow in niches to encourage exercise and develop motor skills while visitors engage in the simple pleasures of smelling and touching as they explore and enjoy this garden. This area is designed for both individual exploration and group activities.
示范/探索花园
低挡的沉思花园的墙是另一个花园和一个不寻常的隐私意识的背后。这个空间是由一个高定义的石墙与植物园的园艺师和导演密切合作设计。墙本身是一个参与性的功能，提供了各种机会，触摸，嗅觉和听觉。精心挑选的天然石头，特点-瀑布有趣的植物和水，游泳池和水滴在苔藓覆盖的石头让用户无论坐或站。植物级联的墙壁和增长的利基，以鼓励锻炼和发展运动技能，同时游客从事简单的乐趣，嗅觉和触摸，因为他们探索和享受这个花园。这方面的设计为个人探索和群体活动。
The Horticultural Therapy Garden
The space designed for horticultural therapy programs is sunny, open, and overflowing with color. Sensory stimulation is heightened in this area as clients, some with severe disabilities, work with and enjoy carefully selected plants and crafts. Program participants are provided a choice of planter widths, heights, and special displays. A dozen varieties of basil provide a long growing season with plants of various heights and blooms so visitors either walking or sitting in wheelchairs have the same experience of fragrant basil at eye and nose level. Paths, activity areas, and a place to greet clients are spacious. The dynamics of conducting and participating in a therapy activity in such a public setting were carefully considered and is another example of the collaboration between the Botanical Garden staff and Landscape Architect. The use of planter walls and a berm create interest and privacy while allowing the general public to enjoy this part of the garden without intruding on or distracting groups or activities. Health care professionals and others are welcomed in this area as they learn about horticultural therapy, plants, and gardening.
园艺疗法
园艺治疗计划的空间是阳光充足，开放，和充满了颜色。在这方面，作为客户，一些有严重残疾，工作和享受精心挑选的植物和工艺品的感官刺激是提高了。项目参与者提供了一个选择的播种机的宽度，高度，和特殊显示。罗勒等十几个品种提供了一个较长的生长季节，不同高度的植物和花朵，游客要么步行或坐在轮椅上有同样的经验，香紫苏在眼睛和鼻子的水平。路径，活动区域，和一个地方来迎接客户是宽敞。在这样的公共环境中进行和参与的治疗活动的动态进行了仔细考虑，是另一个例子，植物园的工作人员和景观设计师之间的合作。利用墙壁种植和护堤创造利益和隐私的同时，让广大市民享受到花园的这一部分没有打扰或分散注意力的团体或活动。卫生保健专业人员和其他人在这方面的欢迎，因为他们了解园艺疗法，植物和园艺。
Project's Importance
The Elizabeth and Nona Evans Restorative Garden is an integral part of the Cleveland Botanical Garden's mission to "blend education, social responsibility, cultural and environmental stewardship" helping "people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities appreciate and benefit from the positive role that plants play in their lives." It educates and entertains visitors with sensory rich experiences and programs. It provides a setting for the collection and display of plants. And, most important, it does these things discreetly, comfortably, for people of all abilities.
