Horticultural Therapy

Maine Public

This show was originally scheduled to air in December but was postponed until today due to severe weather.

With difficult winter weather upon us, it’s easy to feel less energetic or gloomy. Horticultural therapy is one way to counter that. Maine is part of a growing movement to utilize plants and greenery for therapeutic purposes. We’ll learn how plants can be used to foster more healthful and positive indoor environments.

Panelists:
Irene Barber, adult education & horticultural therapy program manager, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
Laura Simonds-Rumpf, horticultural therapist, Cultivating Well Being

VIP Caller:
Cheryl Tyler, founder, Terra Flora in Brunswick, which creates plant designs for interior spaces
