WHAT IS HORTICULTURE FOR HEALTH?

Horticulture for health is an umbrella term referring to wide-ranging activities, programs and services where horticulture is used in various capacities and applications that can positively impact health (Fleming, Diehl, Stark & Amil, 2021). 
The five categories of horticulture for health cover a broad array of activities & services: 
  • health services that use horticulture as an integral part with a therapeutic modality framework; 
  • groups or movements using horticulture as the catalyst for social interactions; 
  • landscapes for health, specifically designed landscapes; 
  • food, nutrition, and food security  
  • horticultural practices (Fleming, 2021)
