What is therapeutic horticulture?
Therapeutic horticulture is using the activity of cultivating plants to accomplish vocational, therapeutic, and social-wellness goals. Whatever your reason for working with plants, doing so has many observable benefits.
These private lessons are typically geared towards a vocational-wellness modality with a primary focus on improving the technical skill of one's gardening abilities.
