Horticultural Therapy

How can Horticultural Therapy Help Me, and How Much will it cost?

Whether your goal is to increase range of motion or hand-eye coordination, improve mood or participation, or
increase socialization or cooperation, Horticultural Therapy can help your clients and loved ones. 

Horticultural Therapy addresses vocational goals, too.  If you want to find employment for clients, and need work
experience with them, we can help set them up with a program to teach valuable work skills.

Programs can be seasonal or year-round, weekly or monthly.  The time frame is usually about 1 hour per session
(except for the vocational).  You choose whatever fits with your goals.

Cost is based on session frequency, duration, and materials needed.  Grant money may be available for Horticultural
Therapy programs for many not-for-profit organizations.

Horticultural Therapy is an inexpensive treatment modality.  It uses living plants to improve a person's physical,
mental, and spiritual well-being in a non-threatening environment.

Horticultural Therapy has helped millions of people worldwide since the 1800s
