Horticulture Therapy
Horticulture Therapy increases motor, cognitive and psychological functions for seniors and groups with differing abilities.
Activities create opportunities for social and inter-generational interaction and empower individuals through experiencing the pride that comes with successful gardening and group collaboration. Our partner agencies include: Bella Vista, City of Boulder, Expand, and Imagine!
“One of our residents can’t see and she loves flowers, so having someone that knows the kind of flowers and the name, and that the resident is able to touch, feel, and smell is great” Erica, Horticulture Therapy Program Partner
