Therapeutic Horticulture
In honour of #EarthDay today, we’re highlighting the Institute for Bioregional Studies Ltd for this week’s #FeatureFriday! They were a recipient of a 2021-2022 Community Catalyst Grant!
- What? Therapeutic Horticulture
- How? Facilitators were formally trained in “Therapeutic Horticulture” to provide a four-season program and activities across PEI for young adults with learning disabilities.
- Impact! This program allows for participants to engage in our community gardens and food system, but also improves participants’ mental health, physical coordination, and communication skills. The program also provides opportunities to learn new, employable skills and for social connections.
