There are many reasons to celebrate therapeutic horticulture. First and foremost, it has been shown by over 30 years of research evidence to be an effective approach to help people deal with a wide range of physical and mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. It can also help people improve social skills, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase self-esteem.
Moreover, therapeutic horticulture is a sustainable approach to healthcare that also has a positive impact on the environment. It promotes the responsible use of natural resources and encourages the cultivation of plants that provide various benefits, such as cleaner air and water.
Therapeutic horticulture is practiced in a variety of settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, care homes and community gardens. This makes it a versatile therapy that can be tailored to help people in a whole range of ways.
The role and value of therapeutic horticulture practitioners cannot be underestimated – they are highly skilled, vital allies to health and care professionals.
