Horticultural therapy (also known as garden therapy) is focused on using the power of nature to treat anxiety, heal from trauma and de-stress. Studies have found that the use of nature can reduce stress and cortisol levels by 40-60%. By spending time in and with nature, we connect to simplicity and recognizing the need to slow down. 

 

Plant Therapy, focuses on being in the garden to help you relieve stress and heal from trauma. Sessions focus on using nature to heal in a variety of settings in addition to typical office/virtual sessions.

 

During individual sessions, we will meet at the Bordentown Township Community Garden and get our hands dirty checking in on veggies that we grow. Throughout the session, we'll explore what stressors you're facing, incorporate deep breathing and EMDR techniques to help you heal.  

​

*Sessions are conducted in the morning
