Holistic Horticultural Connections
Susan Grimes, BS; Lisa L. George, BS, MS
Cawaco Resource, Conservation & Development Council, Inc.’s Horticultural Therapy Program employs a wellness approach in its development of a multi-component, intergenerational program called PLANT PROJECT®, used to enhance services to both older adults and children living with disabilities. The session will discuss the need for a shift away from a medical model for horticultural therapy session to a holistic modality which integrates environmental education, horticultural activities and mentorship.
