Florida ​Horticulture for Health Network Resource Hub

​Welcome to Florida Horticulture for Health Network’s Resource Hub. Horticulture for health has a very broad scope of activities, modalities, research and practice. The Resource Hub uses eight primary categories, referencing Fleming’s (2021) horticulture for health framework, identifying research, books, videos and related resources in each area. The Florida Horticulture for Health Network has compiled these resources, meant to be a starting point for further investigation. The resources are updated annually and focus on most current data available. The content provided is intended for informational purposes only. The materials do not constitute an endorsement of the authors or their materials by the network.
