“Horticulture As Therapy" DVD
Horticulture As Therapy features Master
level horticultural therapists Christine Pollard and Mitchell Hewson.
Gardening For Life created this DVD
to provide a clear explanation of the benefits of Horticultural Therapy,
to make it easily understood and embraced as a necessary alternative therapy
in our health care system. We also hope to motivate those already working
in health care or horticulture to consider extending their career to this
satisfying field of study.
