| Annotation | The author presents a personal account of how horticultural activities were implemented on a contractual basis in several nursing homes, and later through an activities therapy department. Individual examples are cited demonstrating the benefits of horticulture as part of a treatment offering an opportunity to assess functional levels and establish measurable goals and objectives. This paper shows how horticulture as an activity becomes respected as therapy among disciplines of the care planning team at one long-term care facility. |
