About this Event
Floral design is more than creating a beautiful arrangement. Working with flowers and plants can support our physical, mental, and emotional well-being! Therapeutic horticulture uses plants and hands-on activities to encourage:
- Relaxation & Stress Relief
- Focus & Mental Engagement
- Movement & Hands-on Activity
- Social Connection
- Creativity & Self-expression
Enjoy a relaxing, hands-on experience with flowers while supporting wellness, recovery, and connection. With 4 Therapeutic Horticulture opportunities available (be sure to register for each one individually).
