What does HT/TH look like?

Horticultural therapy & therapeutic horticulture programs are designed to address the specific goals and needs of each participating person. Our person-centered approach highlights sensory stimulation, live plant interaction and hands-on horticulture in a way that doesn't need a greenthumb!

Example activities

  • Seed starting and plant transplanting

  • Mindful plant care

  • Harvesting herbs & veggies

  • Plant propagation & legacy growing

  • Sensory exploration

  • Making natural decor

  • Soil mixing

  • Growing bulbs

Who can benefit from HT/TH?

We all, as humans, have an innate affinity towards nature and living things. This love of the natural world around us is called biophilia. Interacting with plants helps us to unlock our biological superpowers to regulate stress, improve attention, encourage engagement, & foster a sense of purpose and community. 

HT/TH is effective for:

  • Managing symptoms of stress, anxiety, or depression

  • Healthy aging and memory care

  • Promoting sensory integration

  • Physical rehabilitation & mobility issues

  • Addressing issues with focus & attention

  • Reducing social isolation & anxiety

  • Offering engaging low-moderate activity

  • Addressing eco-anxiety
