Concurrent Sessions The Design of Alzheimer's Gardens Jack Carman, FASLA, LLA, PP Design for Generations, LLC Outdoor gardens are an important part of senior communities, especially those areas that have been specifically designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. Studies have shown that the outdoor environment can have a great impact on an individual’s mental, physical, social and spiritual well-being. It has been shown that maintaining a connection with nature balances circadian rhythms, reduces blood pressure and provides essential health benefits such as Vitamin D. Positive interaction with the out-of-doors has also been shown to reduce agitation, improve sleep and increase appetite. Seeing familiar elements associated with outdoor areas, such as colorful flowers, familiar birds, or even a common broom can help trigger positive memories. The smell of fresh basil or lavender and a newly cut lawn will also bring back pleasant thoughts from the past. Garden programs that encourage activity and connectedness vary from region to region. Outdoor reading sessions, planting vegetables for use in meals and growing fresh herbs for decorations are a few of the many program examples. Regional characteristics that will help a person relate to the garden may include a fishing boat if it is a maritime community, or a farm implement if it is an agrarian community. These unique features can also be incorporated into the programming of a garden. Examples of existing gardens that have been created and programmed for the benefit of those with Alzheimer’s disease will be presented.
Lake Enola
This session will speak to the questions, “What have we learned in the development of safe therapeutic outdoor areas?” and “What are staff and caregivers across the country currently doing in outdoor areas to maintain a connectedness with these special older adults?” And finally,” What are the outcomes of existing Dementia Gardens and where are these gardens headed?”
Orange County Regional History Center
11:00 a.m. – 12:30 a.m.
The Art and Craft of Landscape Photography: Audio Visual Presentation Allen Rokach Allen Rokach Photography Great and effective landscape photographs don’t just happen. They’re shaped by the combination of raw natural material, superior photographic vision and refined technical skill. Learning to judge the raw material critically is the first step. What does the landscape look like? What is its form, shape, texture and color? What is the impact of light on the subject? Do you want to represent the relationship of the specific landform to the environment? What is the best exposure based on the subject's colors and the available light? What can be done in “after capture” to improve the image?
The ‘Unenslaved' Perennial Garden: The Evolution of Perennial Plant Communities Roy Diblik Northwind Perennial Farm Roy’s thoughtful way to design perennial plantings welcomes fresh contemporary styles and plant diversity integrated with responsible maintenance concerns. Using a selection of regionally dependable perennials, endless natural plant patterns can be constructed, each relating to time and cost to maintain. He will discuss the developing partnership between the gardener, the plants and nature, always knowing that the beauty is in the doing. 9:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.
Break
9:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m.
Is it a Landscape or a Garden, or Both? Phil Maddux, ASLA Phil Maddux Landscape Architect, LLC This session will explore the answers to the question, “What is included in a garden?”
10:45 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Break
Such questions help you evaluate a subject so you can create a mental picture of the image you want to create. Without this previsualized image, which is the essence of the photographic vision, you’ll have a hard time deciding which piece of equipment and which technique to use. To become a proficient landscape photographer, you must interpret the landscape your eyes see. You must create the image your camera’s lens and sensor can make out of the basic elements of the scene in your mind’s eye. Using examples of his work at PepsiCo and other gardens, Allen will discuss his vision and the art and craft of how the images are made. Hannibal Square
