Hospice Gardens

Munster, Indiana

In 2021, PEA began a pro-bono partnership with the Hospice of the Calumet Region to develop a master plan for their William J. Riley facility in Munster, Indiana. The primarily lawn site was envisioned to create a series of gardens with walking paths and sitting areas for the residents and their families. Landscape areas were themed to provide opportunities for sensory, fragrance, familiar, cut-flower and pollinator gardens. Pathways were designed to provide comfortable universal accessibility with multiple seating areas for rest along the paths. 

​

The master plan was completed in 2022. PEA assisted the client in developing cost estimates for fundraising efforts. All project funding was obtained and construction completed in 2025.
