​Mae S. Bruce: Therapeutic Garden

In less than a year, Santa Fe experienced two life-changing events – one caused by nature, the other by a single person. The Santa Fe community will be forever changed, but neighbors, friends, and families are determined to take the shattered pieces and together move forward in a positive and restored direction.

To provide enduring support to the community, Keep Santa Fe Beautiful, is transforming a 1.5 acre, thirty-year-old city park into a therapeutic garden. The plan illustrated below creates a venue for psychological, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual healing—a place of nature to help people recover and restore. Located in the heart of Main Street, the garden will sit adjacent to City Hall and on land settled more than 125 years ago, and will be daily, year-round, for all
people to assist in their healing process. The garden’s restful views, enhanced by scents from plants to calm, allows a soothing and serene space to those seeking inner peace. Numerous research studies have been published with results of patients, injured physically and emotionally, improving their health by spending time in gardens and natural settings. An article printed in Scientific America, March 2012, states: “Just three to five minutes spent looking at views dominated
by trees, flowers or water can begin to reduce anger, anxiety, and pain and induce relaxation."
