Horticultural Therapy (HT) holds restorative value for mind, body, soul and spirit!
HT Programmes using plants, gardening activities and the natural world help restore and rebuild quality of life.
These programmes can enhance self-esteem; alleviate depression; improve motor skills; provide opportunities to problem solve; encourage skills in work adjustment, social interaction, and communication; as well as teach proper nutrition and marketable job skills to hosts of population groups.
"Problems do not go away. They must be worked through or else they remain, forever a barrier to the growth and development of the spirit." M. Scott Peck
