A Nature-based Program for Seniors

Patty Cassidy, a registered horticultural therapist and Master Gardener, summarizes the work she does with senior gardeners and other clients as “Gardening for Wellness.” Her program is based on a simple philosophy—namely, that spending time in the garden, viewing natural settings, and participating in plant activities are all ways of nurturing or restoring one’s emotional and physical well-being. Gardening for Wellness is a nature-based, client-tailored program that provides elders with a variety of restorative and satisfying activities to promote physical, cognitive, social, and psychological health.
