About Anois

Vision of Anois

Anois improves the quality of life of hospital patients and staff and generates healing in bringing them in contact with nature. Anois achieves this through designing, planning, landscaping and planting dedicated hospital gardens to fulfill the needs of clients and staff.

Mission of Anois

• Our healing gardens lift the spirits of the patient, their families and friends, stimulate the senses, provoke the minds and reinforce the very truth that life is a cycle.
• In our gardens we create sanctuaries which stimulate the five senses of a person to actively engage in body and spirit, to ultimately find peace of mind.
• We create these sanctuaries by enhancing the healing power of nature’s rich offerings and with meditative support created by using the five elements earth, water, fire, air and stone.
• We complement the natural environmental concepts with literary and visual arts to create a holistic healing environment to be enjoyed by everybody.
• The creative processes of design and planning involve the hospice residents and staff to tailor the Anois garden to their specific needs and to support their ethics and philosophy of care.
• We reflect on the resulting gardens jointly with their users to learn and to develop guidelines and a catalogue of possible ingredients for such healing gardens.
