Horticultural Therapy
Cultivating calm, purpose, and growth through nature
At Evolutions Detox Recovery Center, horticultural therapy gives clients a peaceful, hands-on way to heal. Working with soil, seeds, and living plants brings steadiness to the mind, eases the body, and rebuilds a sense of connection—key foundations for sustainable recovery. Whether you’re addressing addiction, co-occurring mental health needs, or both, time in the garden offers grounding, gentle structure, and real momentum.
What Is Horticultural Therapy?
Nature-based care that supports body, mind, and routine
Horticultural therapy integrates gardening, plant care, and mindful outdoor activities into treatment. Guided by trained facilitators, clients take on low-pressure tasks—planting, pruning, watering, harvesting—that reduce anxiety, sharpen focus, and encourage emotional regulation. These simple, intentional actions foster purpose, curiosity, and steady progress.
