With a strong foundation in landscape architecture and healthcare design, Dr Nieberler-Walker’s work focuses on how hospital gardens can be purposefully designed to enhance patient recovery, while also improving the wellbeing of visitors and healthcare staff. Her professional experience advocating for meaningful green spaces in healthcare projects inspired her pioneering research and the development of the Therapeutic Hospital Garden Guidelines.
These guidelines—developed for healthcare designers, decision-makers, and clinical practitioners—provide a structured framework to ensure that therapeutic gardens are consistently and effectively implemented in hospital settings.
Dr Nieberler-Walker is credited with establishing the term Therapeutic Hospital Gardens (THG) and continues to lead global conversations on integrating nature into healthcare infrastructure. Her vision is to see THG embedded in every hospital worldwide, contributing to healthier communities and advancing both human and planetary health.
