Therapy and the Older Adult Population
edited by Suzanne E. Wells, MS
Horticulture
Therapy is the process of using plants for
social, physical, psychological, and educational
benefits. This book offers a collection of
10 articles covering all phases of implementing
horticulture therapy.
Written
specifically for older populations, anyone
using this resource would need to adapt
the information for individuals with developmental
disabilities. This book it is described
as being "concise and comprehensive"; "
a guidebook for anyone interested in the
use of horticulture for older populations";
"the articles give you a 'how-to' description
for using and incorporating horticulture
as a therapy"; "some activities are described".
An annotated description of programs, including
some Canadian, provides information on existing
programs and contact information. A number
of the programs included provide services
to persons with developmental disabilities,
physical disabilities and mental illness.
