Horticultural
Therapy
Horticultural therapy is defined by the American Horticultural Therapy Association as the engagement of a person in gardening and plant-based activities, facilitated by a trained therapist, to achieve specific therapeutic treatment goals. In this VLOG series we give focus to not only how this definition empowers our mental health but how research continues to build on a evidence-based practice.
An educational VLOG giving insight into an emerging mental health phenomenon.
Horticultural Health
The Positive Effects Of Gardening On Mental Health are immeasurable. Research suggests when we get out and work with nature, it can do more than improve our physical activity. It can improve our mental capacity.
Plants and activity offer us a combination that decreases levels of stress, anxiety and even depression.
So, never underestimate a busy day in the garden.
