When can I enjoy Horticulture Therapy?

Horticulture Therapy uses plants, gardening activities, and the natural world as a vehicle for programs in therapy and rehabilitation. Thus, it need not be confined to the spring and summer months. Fall and winter activities require more creativity, facilities and planning.

A greenhouse can provide a year round growing season, even in the harshest climates. Fall walks to collect colorful leaves for pressing, can provide winter card making activities. Outings into the natural world to identify plants and plant growth patterns can be year round activities as well.
