Plant Connections
Therapeutic Horticulture

  I have over 30 years of professional experience in public and private gardens. My mission and passion have always been to connect people and plants through knowledge, care, and engagement. I have a B.S. in Horticulture from The Ohio State University and am a member of the GrowTH Network.

Therapeutic Horticulture offers a gentle, accessible way for residents to connect with nature through hands-on activities such as planting, sensory exploration, seasonal projects, and guided plant-based experiences. These sessions support: • Cognitive engagement through memory stimulation and purposeful tasks • Emotional wellbeing by reducing stress and fostering calm • Social connection as residents participate together in enjoyable group activities • Physical benefits through light, safe movement and fine motor practice • A sense of purpose that comes from nurturing living things Programs can be adapted for all ability levels, including memory care, and can be offered as one time sessions or ongoing seasonal series
