Design for Generations, LLC goal is to encourage the interaction between people and nature through the creation of therapeutic outdoor environments.

Do you find yourself asking…

“How do I update my garden?”
“Why aren’t people using the garden?”
“Is my garden really therapeutic?”
“How can I get more hummingbirds and butterflies into the garden?”
“How do I maintain the garden?”

If you find yourself asking these questions – you are in need of a professional evaluation of your garden.

Jack Carman, FASLA will meet with you to review and create a plan to revitalize your existing garden. For more information on how to make your garden work for you, visit the contact page.

Monday, October 29, 2018 - Leading Age National Annual Meeting

Leading Age Conference, Philadelphia, PA

Designing Outdoor Spaces: Combining Wellness and Nature.

Presenters: Jack Carman, FASLA, RLA; Shannon Grieb & Christopher Kendzierski, CLA

The education session will help attendees to experience and explore the many wellness benefits derived from seniors engaging in outdoor exercise programs and activities. The speakers will discuss various ways to utilize these and other outdoor spaces to their full potential. The overall goal is to develop multi-dimensional programming that serves residents of all abilities. As all dimensions of wellness are inherently human, programming should honor the qualities we all enjoy and that enhance our quality of life.
