The Therapeutic Landscape is an evolving concept that is gaining popularity today. what makes landscape therapeutic and not another? In what way are landscapes healing? The benefits of therapeutic landscape design in healthcare are discussed in this study. As a result of research findings from a case study, a set of recommendations for therapeutic landscape design has been proposed to show how therapeutic gardens may be used to better serve the community as a whole. The maps and site layout have been examined. As a main research project, a case study is employed. The findings of the case studies helped in the formulation of theories, policy recommendations, and the use of gardens for therapeutic purposes in hospitals. This research looked at a range of approaches to learning about the therapeutic environment in hospitals a bast from general (normal) facilities provided. These include how gardens might be utilized to improve patient treatment and the realization that nature is another name for health. The application will focus on the hospital's site location in order to produce a peaceful therapeutic garden in the context of Nekemte City's dry tropical climate.
