Therapeutic Horticulture is a therapeutic approach that uses plants, nature and gardening activities to promote self-regulation, stress reduction, improve self-esteem, resilience and mindful attention. It enhances physical health and cognitive function. we can create a sensory garden to help you engage all five senses-sight (colorful flowers, or combining various succulents), sound (rustling leaves and wind chimes), smell (herbs, fragrant flowers), touch (soft lambs ear leaves, rough bark), taste (fresh mint, berries, teas, edible flowers). Gardening teaches us patience, seeds don't turn into plants overnight, they take time, so does change, healing and recovery, it requires dedication, commitment and patience. A thriving garden requires removing weeds that steal the nutrients and sunlight from the plants we want to grow. Similar to change and healing, we need to "weed out" whatever stops us from growing and achieving our goals. This could be "weeding out" unhelpful thinking patterns, unhelpful habits, unhelpful coping strategies and behaviors. You can learn to grow food or engage in nature craft. No prior gardening experience is required. We can work in your garden if you have one, if you don't have a garden, we can work with indoor plants. If you don't have either (garden or indoor plants), we can practice therapeutic horticulture out in nature, or I can bring pots, seeds and plants to give therapeutic horticulture a try!
