The ornaments also integrate healing gardens. However, it is essential that art objects communicate appropriate messages to stimulate inner healing. In this sense, this paper aims to understand the visual reading of ornaments in children’s healing gardens. In particular, this study is interested in revealing the identification potential of ornaments, focusing on materials, silhouettes, contour lines and patterns of information of objects exposed in gardens. The analysis of the visual language of objects from five children’s healing gardens, built between 1999 and 2018, in the United States, allowed us to interpret that the ornaments can also display non-identifiable silhouettes or express negative visual factors. Such an alert can be useful to guide the design of garden ornaments aimed at the specific public of children with disabilities or in the process of rehabilitation.
