Engagement and Education in Garden Therapy

Education plays a pivotal role in extending the benefits of garden therapy to a wider audience. Through workshops and interactive sessions, individuals can learn not only about the basics of gardening but also about its therapeutic aspects, including its role in reducing stress and enhancing mental well-being. Community-led initiatives in public parks or outdoor spaces can introduce programs that marry play, creativity, and horticultural education, promoting mental wellness across different age groups and backgrounds.
