Horticultural 
Therapy 
Services
Plants help provide 
healing, 
well-being, 
physical growth, 
and 
emotional strength.
What Is 
Horticultural 
Therapy? 
Horticultural therapy is the use of professionally directed plant, gardening, 
and nature activities for the purpose of restoring the physical and mental 
health of its participants. 
Have you noticed how a walk in the forest or being around plants makes 
you feel better, or how happy you are when you pick the season’s first 
vine-ripe tomato? How about when you share a favorite perennial with 
a friend or see someone admiring your garden? 
There is a special connection between people and plants that increases 
our sense of well-being. Imagine the individuals served by your agency 
sharing in this feeling while engaged in plant and gardening activities as 
part of their therapy—or just for fun. 
Horticultural therapy capitalizes on the many special benefits of using 
plants to help people grow. 
Horticultural therapy maintains or improves physical health by providing 
unlimited opportunities for exercising, increasing flexibility, improving 
coordination and balance, and building physical strength. Multiple studies 
have demonstrated that physiological indicators such as respiration, pulse, 
and blood pressure respond positively to plants. 
Horticultural therapy elicits positive psychological and emotional responses 
as well by relieving stress, providing a nonthreatening atmosphere, 
alleviating depression, and helping people connect with nature. Research 
studies confirm these and many other psychosocial benefits when 
people interact with plants and nature.

in 1972, the Garden has grown in prominence and expertise in community 
education, youth and family programs, adult education, and professional 
credentialing. Moreover, the Garden is known worldwide for its research,

The Garden’s 
Horticultural Therapy 
Services Program 
Since 1977, the Garden’s Horticultural Therapy Services Program 
has supported the establishment of horticultural therapy programs at 
healthcare and human service agencies serving schools, VA hospitals, and 
people with disabilities and older adults in the Chicago region. The program 
serves as a primary regional, national, and international resource for 
information while offering a full range of professional training opportunities. 
Also available are consulting services in barrier-free greenhouse and 
enabling garden design, sensory landscaping, and horticultural therapy 
program planning. 
Now that the Chicago Botanic Garden 
has shown me how to lead gardening 
activities, I can do it on my own with 
the residents.
