Horticultural Therapy
Horticultural therapy is a term that is used to refer to a wide range of different programs and therapeutic interventions that use nature-based activities to improve the quality of people’s lives – physically, emotionally, socially, mentally and cognitively.
At Blossoms, we have spent a number of years developing our very own unique & holistic Horticultural Therapy service, that is specifically designed with stress reduction in mind.
Daily life has a habit of causing feelings of anxiety, depression and stress – and there is no better time that the present to start taking care of our emotional and mental wellbeing. Working closely with plants and horticulture is one of the most effective ways to do this.
