The Royal Botanical Gardens is a Hamilton area institution that offers a variety of learning opportunities, and one of these will be focused on the benefits of horticultural therapy.
Many find that working with plants proves to be very therapeutic, and the two days of training that will take place at the Royal Botanical Gardens will be a deep dive introduction to horticultural therapy benefits. The skills that will be taught can be used both indoors and out, and there is a variety of topics on the syllabus for the occasion.
The learners in the workshop will discover the therapeutic qualities of different species of flora, and writing proposals, goal setting and evaluation will be discussed as well. Equipment for therapeutic gardening, such as indoor lighting, raised beds and tools, will be reviewed, and the attendees will also find out how to tailor a program to a specific target audience, such as dementia patients. Adapting horticultural practices for those with mobility and other challenges will be included.
The organizers have noted that, at the end of the function, each learner will be presented with a certificate of attendance. These sorts of customized documents can be prepared by area Stationery printers.
The Royal Botanical Gardens will be running its two-day Horticultural Therapy Training workshop on April 8th and 9th. Both sessions are scheduled as in-person events.
