The Gratitude Garden at the Tri-Point Medical Center
Painesville, Ohio
The Gratitude Garden is one of four spaces of respite on the campus of the Tri-Point Medical Center.
These series of gardens were originally inspired by the stream that passes through this site. Designated by the US Corps of Engineers as a pristine stream, it limited development and began to directly inform the site design. Utilized as a unifying element, the energy and healing properties of the stream were metaphorically channelled into the Healing Garden, the Chapel, Main Entry Garden, Gratitude Garden, and ultimately returned downstream.
This particular garden is located off of the dining hall, and includes a water fall and stream feature, donor pavers, teak seating, and wonderful landscape. This space has become a favorite respite space to eat, relax, and soak up the sounds of the waterfall…
