Formed in 1973, the American Horticultural Therapy Association has helped horticultural therapy gain acceptance as a unique and dynamic human service program. Horticultural therapy (HT) is the engagement of a person in gardening-related activities, facilitated by a trained therapist, to achieve specific treatment goals. HT is an effective and beneficial treatment for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

Gardening for Good is dedicated to promoting the therapeutic benefits of a connection with plants and nature. We offer a variety of programs, presentations, training sessions and services. Our audiences range from healthcare staff, educators, clinicians to the girlfriend groups and the general public. Our therapeutic horticulture services are delivered to several populations that include children and adolescents as well as older adults and the elderly.
