SOČA is medical and dispensary institution with the intention to hospitalise and treat people with motion and perception difficulties. Patients suffer for either physical or mental disability and are in most cases not able to walk without the assistance of wheelchair or crutches. Some people are experiencing orientation and sensing troubles. The proposal for the therapeutic garden is in terms of accessibility accommodated to the needs of wheelchair users. The main purpose of garden design is to encourage mental and physical recovery. Physical recovery is attained by practising walk with a companion or trainer. It is supported by creating different steeps and stairs while using various types of material like grass, pebbles and concrete. The location of the stairs was decided with considerations to wheelchair users. Modern psychological treatments in terms of mental recovery emphasise the healing power of plants. They assume that colourful, sweet-scented and tasty plants help to awake human senses and fight stress or depression.
