The first definitive, state-of-the-art text on the practice, this unique book presents horticultural therapy as a medical discipline that uses plants and plant products to improve the cognitive, physical, psychological, and social functioning of its participants. In doing so, it educates future horticultural therapists on the essential concepts and skills and prepares them for professional positions as practitioners, researchers, and educators in this growing field.

Did you know that plants and plant products can be used to improve people’s cognitive, physical, psychological, and social functioning? Well, they can, and Horticulture as Therapy is the book to show you how!

The first comprehensive text on the practice of horticulture as therapy, this one-of-a-kind book will enable the profession to educate future horticultural therapists with fundamental knowledge and skills as they embark on careers as practitioners, researchers, and educators.
