From experienced gardeners to houseplant lovers, there are many different ways people engage with plant life.
But did you know it can actually be therapeutic to spend time with our leafy friends?
Horticultural therapy is practiced in hospitals, care facilities, and botanical gardens across the world – and the benefits are powerful.
Check out our video below where Nancy Lee Colibaba, a horticultural therapy coordinator at the Royal Botanical Gardens, answers our questions about horticultural therapy.
There are all kinds of natural health services ([ Ссылка ]) available to you today, many that you may not have ever heard of.
But first – what is horticultural therapy, and how does it work?
Horticultural therapy, also known as plant therapy, is the practice of using plants or plant related activities to improve your quality of life.
This includes gardening, spending time among plants, and learning more about horticulture.
Whatever your abilities may be, the focus of horticultural therapy is to improve or maintain your ability level.
Horticultural therapy is great for practicing fine and gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and keeping the mind active.
Because of these benefits, this kind of therapy is extremely positive for elderly individuals living in long term care facilities.
Many of these folks are former farmers and gardeners, so returning to activities that resonate with their past can be very beneficial.
A big part of horticultural therapy is education, and learning more about plants.
This stimulates the mind, improves memory, and provides a mood and energy boost.
Horticultural therapy can also be a great social tool, because there's nothing more uplifting than spending time in nature and learning about plants with others.
Horticultural therapy can be extremely beneficial to everyone, whether you're an experienced gardener or you're interested in trying it out for the first time.
Spending time in nature can help relieve stress and greatly improve your quality of life.
