Therapeutic Horticulture

About

Enhancing well-being through the transformative power of plants, therapeutic horticultural classes and workshops are designed to promote holistic health across the six domains of wellness: physical, mental, spiritual, creative, emotional, and social. As a certified therapeutic horticultural ally through Root in Nature, I offer dynamic programs that engage participants in a range of plant-based activities, from active gardening to enjoying the calming presence of nature.

The workshops and classes aim to cultivate a deeper connection to the natural world, fostering a sense of peace and balance. Whether through flower bouquet making, plant care, or pot painting, each session is crafted to encourage personal growth and communal harmony. Join us to experience the myriad benefits of therapeutic horticulture and enhance your well-being in a supportive and nurturing environment.
