Description
This program is designed for delivery throughout Winter as a Therapeutic Gardening Program.
Therapeutic Horticulture is a process of using plants and gardening activities to promote health and well-being of people’s mind, body and spirit.
Gardening has been used for many years to cultivate health and wellbeing in people with disabilities, illnesses, diseases, the young, the elderly and people recovering from surgery and other health issues.
This program includes an organic and sustainable approach to gardening and is customised for the needs of people of all ages and abilities.
