Heide Museum of Modern Art

Uncategorized

Melbourne, Australia: Heide Museum of Modern Art is delighted to open the much anticipated Healing Garden within the
museum grounds on Tuesday 23 November 2021. Inspired by Heide founder Sunday Reed’s profound love for her garden and
designed by leading landscape architecture studio Openwork, the Healing Garden draws on the curative properties of plants and
the ever-growing body of knowledge that positions gardens as a powerful tool for connecting communities, reducing social
isolation and providing positive, life-affirming experiences.
The garden has been designed to facilitate healing and restoration for vulnerable communities and will now be a vital space for
the broader community as we navigate the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Circular in design, the garden draws on
the concept of proxemics, which considers the intuitive spatial distances between people in personal and public space.
