| Annotation | Although family caregiving can be a rewarding experience for many caregivers, it can be stressful for others. Few therapeutic services to help caregivers are available in the home, or which are flexible to caregiving time demands, or which provide opportunities for joint activities for caregivers and care recipients. A caregiver horticultural programme is presented which caters for these needs. This article describes the programme's components, with strategies for successful intervention. Two case studies demonstrate the programme's implementation. |
