What is Horticultural Therapy

As defined by the CHTA- Horticultural Therapy (HT) is a formal practice that uses plants, horticultural activities and the garden landscape to promote well-being for its participants. HT is goal orientated with defined outcomes and assessment procedures. HT sessions are administered by professionally trained horticultural therapists.

What are the benefits of HT?

  • Reduces stress and promotes relaxation through connection with plants and nature.

  • Supports mental well-being, mindfulness, and emotional expression.

  • Boosts physical health, coordination, and mobility through gardening activities.

  • Encourages social connection and builds confidence and self-esteem.


HT Program Development

My service focuses on developing horticultural therapy programs that support recovery, independence, and overall well-being. With a professional background in the rehabilitation field, I design plant-based therapeutic activities that align with physical, cognitive, and psychosocial goals. Each program is person-cantered, tailored to the specific needs of individuals and rehabilitation settings.

1:1 Horticultural Therapy Session

The 1:1 horticultural therapy program is a personalized service that meets clients where they are, using hands-on plant activities to support healing and growth. Sessions are gently tailored to individual needs and goals, allowing time for connection, reflection, and progress at a comfortable pace. This approach creates a nurturing environment where therapeutic outcomes develop naturally through meaningful engagement with plants and nature.
