Member-Only: The Power of Plants: Introduction to Therapeutic Horticulture

Therapeutic horticulture is a newer type of therapy, yet it is rooted in centuries of humans’ innate connection to the natural world. This practice has gained popularity in dozens of settings, including assisted living, hospitals, schools and botanic gardens! Join Gina Walter, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden educator, to learn about the history, practice, and value of therapeutic horticulture. Participants will gain tools to use therapeutic horticulture in their own everyday lives and engage in a hands-on demonstration. This lecture will give a first look into how Pittsburgh Botanic Garden plans to support the community through inclusive and impactful therapeutic horticulture programs.
