Horticulture as Therapy

Great book to accompany the course I took at the New York Botanical Gardens, Intro to Horiticultural Therapy.

This book is a great educational tool for those persons interested in Horticulture and as a student or faculty would recommend it highly for review.

A bit old, but a very good introduction to horticultural therapy.

Excellent resource!

Had to buy as required text for class but totally not worth it as it is outdated

Book has several pages in chunks falling out upon opening

This is a valuable and comprehensive introduction to the use of gardening and other related activities to promote health and well-being, among a range of different clients, including children and young people, older people and those experiencing physical disabilities. While the introductory chapters provide a valuable and succinct overview of the theories that underpin this growing profession, some of the later chapters on specific client groups are less satisfying and would benefit from updating at some point in the near future.
