A Valued Relationship with Nature and Its Influence on the Use of Gardens by Older Adults Living in Residential Care

ABSTRACT

While there is growing interest in inclusion of gardens and outdoor spaces in residential care facilities for older adults, these spaces are often underutilized despite many identified, evidence-based benefits. A qualitative study of participant observations with behavior mapping, and individual and focus-group interviews, using a grounded theory methodology was used to understand value versus use of outdoor garden spaces. Individual and focus-group interviews were conducted with 32 residents from two facilities. Results revealed that views of nature are fundamentally important to resident well-being, that access to nature influences facility choice, and use of garden spaces is influenced by the way in which individuals prefer to enjoy nature.     

Attack of the Butterfly Spirits: The Impact of Movement Framing by Community Garden Preservation Activists

This study of the community garden preservation movement on the Lower East Side of New York examines the role of movement framing by activists in their struggle to save hundreds of gardens from destruction. In repeated confrontations with the Giuliani administration, gardeners successfully de-routinized the process of urban redevelopment by portraying the loss of a garden as an unimaginable violation against themselves, and the city. This process of re-framing urban development helped activists to compensate for their disempowered political status, and was instrumental in forcing the Giuliani administration to negotiate to save the gardens. Focusing on framing by movement activists demonstrates the purposive and strategic character of neighborhood identity. Emphasizing the strategy of neighborhood identities is a useful corrective to the many studies of community movements that emphasize their emergence from a relational, presumably non-strategic, local reality.

Building racial bridges? Social capital among community gardeners in US food deserts

This study examined the relationship between race and racial diversity on social capital in community gardens located in food deserts in the southeastern region of the USA. Using snowball methods, a sample of 52 gardeners who represented 10 community gardens was obtained. Cross‐level regression models were performed using two different aspects of social capital: one’s “sense of community” and the “number of resources” a gardener could obtain from fellow gardeners, as dependent variables. Results indicate that community gardens are excellent vehicles for promoting one’s sense of community regardless of one’s race or a garden’s racial composition. In contrast, community gardens were less likely to increase the number of resources. It took longer and more effort to access a greater number of resources while increased perceptions of racial diversity had a negative relationship with number of resources.

中国宝塔在近代欧洲花园设计中的应用

欧洲人对宝塔的兴趣和他们从乌托邦维度审视中国的历史密切相关.中国的宝塔最早出现在欧洲旅行家的传记中,随后逐渐开始了对这一建筑样式的仿造.在巴洛克时期,欧洲园林中的宝塔是专制王权权力欲望的象征.在洛可可时代,宝塔则寄寓着早期启蒙知识分子追求开明专制的政治理想.18世纪中期,欧洲人对东亚宝塔摹仿精确性的要求不断提高,这种仿造与当时人们对东方社会政治模式的平民化想像相一致.但是,到了19世纪初,围绕宝塔虚构的东方神奇世界失去了它的重要性,欧洲人建造宝塔的兴趣也随之减退.
