A Comprehensive Guide to Therapeutic Horticulture invites readers into a practice where gardens become places of connection, healing, learning, and growth.
Written by Therapeutic Horticulturist Wendy Jansen, this comprehensive and compassionate guide explores the growing field of Therapeutic Horticulture through both practical knowledge and real-world experience. Combining theory with heartfelt case studies, the book demonstrates how meaningful engagement with plants and nature can support mental, emotional, physical, and social wellbeing across diverse settings and populations.
Covering topics such as therapeutic garden design, communication and counselling skills, risk management, accessibility, diversity and inclusion, program development, and sustainable garden practices, this book provides readers with the foundational knowledge needed to begin or deepen their journey in Therapeutic Horticulture.
Through stories drawn from practice, readers will discover how gardens can create safe and supportive environments for children, older adults, people living with disability, individuals experiencing mental health challenges, and culturally diverse communities. Each chapter offers practical insights while encouraging reflection, creativity, and person-centred care.
Whether you are a therapist, educator, support worker, community gardener, student, health professional, or simply someone who believes in the restorative power of nature, this book offers inspiration and guidance to help cultivate meaningful therapeutic experiences.
Grounded in compassion and guided by lived experience, A Comprehensive Guide to Therapeutic Horticulture reminds us that growth does not happen all at once - sometimes healing begins with planting a single seed.
