Environs Inc was the project landscape architect for the new Women & Children’s Facility in West Louisville. Formerly covered in asphalt, this 8 acre site has become a park-like setting to aid in the recovery of addicted women. Each interior courtyard fits a part of the healing program. Additionally, there is a meditation garden, children’s activity areas, walking path and great lawn for impromptu games. All plantings are native or adapted species to Kentucky. This project, completed in September of 2009, was awarded LEED Silver certification in September of 2010.
