Direct contact with plants guides the individual's focus away from stress enhancing their overall quality of life.
Whistling Gardens currently offers informal garden tours and garden education workshops to bridge the gap between participants and nature. Formal consultations with our Medicinal Garden Practitioner or a referral to Horticultural therapists who are specially educated and trained members of rehabilitation teams are available.
Who May Benefit from Horticulture Therapy? Seniors, Long Term Care Residents, Mental Health Clients, Persons with Dementia, Trauma or Grief Recovery, School Age Children and Anyone having a desire to connect with nature.
