Indoor Plant Horticultural Therapy

FAQ About Indoor Plant Horticultural Therapy

What role do sensory experiences play in horticultural therapy?

Sensory experiences are crucial in horticultural therapy as they engage multiple senses, making the therapeutic process more effective. Interacting with indoor plants involves sight (observing plant growth and colors), touch (feeling textures of leaves and soil), smell (fragrances of flowers or foliage), and even sound (the rustle of leaves). These sensory engagements can enhance relaxation, increase alertness, and provide a grounding experience that helps in alleviating stress and improving mood.
