Horticultural Therapy – using gardening to help people become physically and emotionally fit. Like any other regular physical activity, gardening can help reduce your risk of heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, adult-onset diabetes, osteoporosis and stroke.

Organic gardening also rejuvenates the spirit. It’s relaxing to feel the sun on your back as you plant, weed or water. Gardening can connect you to the natural rhythm of the earth and its cycles in a way that nothing else really can.
