Horticultural Therapy
Nurturing Recovery Through Nature and Growth
At Serenity Path Recovery, horticultural therapy offers a calming, hands-on approach to healing by connecting individuals with the natural world. This therapeutic practice uses gardening and plant-based activities to encourage mindfulness, reduce stress, and inspire personal transformation. As clients engage with nature, they cultivate a sense of peace, purpose, and renewed connection to their recovery journey.
Whether you’re healing from addiction, addressing mental health challenges, or navigating co-occurring disorders, horticultural therapy supports whole-person wellness in a deeply meaningful way.
What Is Horticultural Therapy?
Horticultural therapy is an experiential treatment approach that incorporates gardening and plant care into the recovery process. Under the guidance of trained horticultural therapists, clients participate in activities that calm the mind, improve focus, and promote emotional and physical wellness.
By working directly with plants, clients experience the benefits of gentle physical movement, creative expression, and self-discovery, all while building practical life skills and fostering a deeper connection to the present moment.
