Horticultural Therapy
Horticultural Therapy is a therapeutic practice that uses gardening and plant-related activities to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It involves engaging individuals in gardening tasks, which can enhance their motor skills, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. This form of therapy is often used in various settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and community gardens.
Participants in Horticultural Therapy may work with plants, flowers, and vegetables to cultivate a sense of responsibility and achievement. The process encourages social interaction and can be beneficial for people with disabilities, mental health issues, or those recovering from illness.
