Horticultural Therapy
Nurturing Recovery Through Nature and Growth
At Avan Wellness Center, horticultural therapy offers a calming, hands-on approach to healing by connecting individuals with the natural world. This therapeutic practice uses gardening and plant-based activities to foster mindfulness, reduce stress, and inspire personal transformation. As clients engage with nature, they cultivate peace, purpose, and a renewed connection to their recovery journey.
Whether healing from addiction, addressing mental health challenges, or navigating co-occurring disorders, horticultural therapy supports whole-person wellness in a deeply meaningful way.
What Is Horticultural Therapy?
Horticultural therapy is an experiential treatment approach that incorporates gardening and plant care into the recovery process. Guided by trained horticultural therapists, clients participate in activities that help calm the mind, improve focus, and promote both emotional and physical wellness.
Through working with plants, clients gain the benefits of gentle physical movement, creative expression, and self-discovery, while building life skills and fostering a deeper connection to the present moment.
