horticultural therapists

Horticultural therapists are trained professionals who use gardening and plant-based activities to support individuals’ physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being. They design tailored programs that incorporate gardening tasks to promote healing, improve motor skills, reduce stress, and boost confidence. By engaging with plants and nature, clients can experience therapeutic benefits in settings like hospitals, nursing homes, or community centers. This approach combines the natural healing power of plants with therapeutic techniques, helping people of all ages and abilities achieve improved quality of life and functional goals through meaningful interaction with the natural environment.
