Welcome to Horticultural Therapy
- Horticultural Therapists use plants and horticultural activities to help individuals or groups reach cognitive, emotional, physical and/or social goals. Often times they work with other professionals to attain identified goals. Examples of goals might be: an increase in socialization or focusing skills, balance, following instructions, and fine or gross motor skills.
