Horticultural therapy techniques are employed to assist participants to
learn new skills or regain those that are lost. Horticultural therapy
helps improve memory, cognitive abilities, task initiation, language
skills, and socialization. In physical rehabilitation, horticultural
therapy can help strengthen muscles and improve coordination, balance,
and endurance. In vocational horticultural therapy settings, people
learn to work independently, problem solve, and follow directions.
