Therapeutic Horticulture is a process in which plants and gardening activities are used to improve the body, mind, and spirit, through passive or active involvement.
Deepening one’s connection to nature can take on a lot of different forms. Focusing on the details and nuances of the plants takes you outside yourself. —Jeanne Carbone, Supervisor of Therapeutic Horticulture, Missouri Botanical Gardens
